2011 Front end conversion
Hello everyone
I have a 2010 C300 Sport 4-matic, looking to do a front end update to the 2011 style.
I purchased my car used and it already had the license plate bracket screwed into the bumper. I tried using bumper plugs and they worked for a bit but they paint started coming off.
So, I think I will put a 2011 bumper with the new fog lights on. Just wanting to make sure I have all the parts, so if anyone could assist it would be greatly appreciated.
Bumper:

LED's:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Euro-8-LED-D...ht_5937wt_1141
Other than those two pieces, I will use my grille from my current bumper to fill in the bottom middle open section.
Anything else I am not thinking of?

The pics of that front end on ebay don't look like a 2011 upgrade to me. Looks like a Classic model which you can't get in the US. Be careful.

I agree, that does not look like a '11 sport bumper. you can use your existing bumper and just change out the black foglight plastic mesh area and get OEM parts with very little work

2011 bumper is the same as 2010 aside from the cutout areas where the LEDs go- check parts.com for the 2011 bumper/LED parts.
If you don't want to spend a ton of money on a new bumper you could get the holes filled by a shop and then retrofit the LEDs into the existing bumper. its been done - trust me, I'm a doctor
