Thanks for reply.
No. Just to start, you'd need a new hood.

For the tail lights I bought these babies, pretty much plug and play and they work perfectly. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2008-2011-Mer...e9c3f3&vxp=mtr

Nothing is impossible!!

I bought the headlight that i showed to you previously and made some modification in the headlight harness. I took the original harness who were on the old headlights and made wiring to the new headlight which is working on H7 for the low beam and H1 for the high beam.

I post some picks if someone is interested...

To facelift your w204 you just have to change your headlights and your bonnet... I haven't changed my bonnet and i'm waiting to receive it to change...

Agree. It will never look right.
