AMG bumper don't fit on my CL203.. Help needed!

I tried to install AMG front bumper on my CL203 but it doesn't fit at all. The bumper was original Mercedes part so I thought that it should fit rather easily. But no... The bumper seemed too wide and it some of the attachment points doesn't match.

Mine SC is facelift and the bumper was for pre-facelift . Could that be the problem?? I also used the inner part that came with the AMG bumper.. Would it help if I just buy new inner part which is for the facelift or use the old one?? And if I use the old will it fit to AMG bumper?

The AMG should only be a direct fit for prefacelifted coupes.

post a picture buddy.

pre-facelift and facelift has the same hood and fender. the bumper should go right on with the correct bumper support. which leads back to the question oel posted. "did you order the right parts"

I don't have the a camera at the moment so I can't post a picture!

I didn't order the parts.. I bought the bumper from guy who has accidentally bought the parts for his w203 STW. I notice that bumper was for pre-facelift but I think that it would fit.. I also checked the part numbers from EPC that they are made for SC.

So you think that if I just change the bumper support for facelift model it would fit??

How about starting your own business by shipping cars from US to there?

I had a relative shipped SUVs to Armenia because roads over there are all bad and the Armenian Mafia took over his business
Over there a regular SUV cost around 40 thousand US dollars.

Since you know a lot of people on the MBZ forum you can do business?

That's not so easy in Finland.. Taxes for imported cars are huge in Finland. I looked 2005 CLK from Germany and taxes was almost 20k and the car costs only 22k! And when you import car from US to Finland, there are many changes you have to made if you register your car properly.
