Question bumper and fogs

Its difficult to understand car names and badges.

The first attached pictures 01 is of my car. It is known as Avantgarde in gulf and I dont know what this type of Fogs and Bumper style is called in other parts of the world. But what is called 'sports w204 in US/Canada/Europe' and other parts of the world is known as 'Avantgarde with AMG body kit' here in Gulf (with AMG Badge on the trunk). We have another two models as well known as Classic(C180K only) and Elegence(C200/230/280/350).

I was thinking to replace the bumper with some other sporty type. Wald International has very beautiful set of bumpers with dual Fogs. Even I will prefer changing it with AMG styled bumpers or C63.


My question is;
Do all these bumpers will have same fittings? Just buy, paint it and install? or do I need merc dealer (bodyshop) to do it? What if I buy another set of bumper(as attached) and I am unable to install because of different hooks and fittings?

If possible, where can I buy this set of bumpers?

I am not an auto-tech and do not understand many terminologies though I have tried explaining what I want. I have attached some pictures to clarify my questions.

The black one is a Carlsson bodykit....there's a sponsor here on the forums he's getting ideas for a group buy so your best bet would be to contact him or find another dealer.

4th one is a Wald body kit. They're a Japanese tuner. I don't think there are any sponsors on here that are distributors of Wald. However, if you're interested, PM me and I can give you more info as to a dealer in the states for a Wald body kit. I don't want to say it here because I think it might be against mbworld rules.

But question remains the same .. Will I have the same fittings for all these bumpers?

I think the fittings should be the same if you're getting authentic kits instead of replicas although some replica fits perfect.
