Ok so I need a new front bumper for my 08 C300. I love the new c63 bumper but will if fit? If so is it going to require a lot of modding?

This is the bumper I would like^^^

Wondering the samething too

If you guys can round up a group you could do a buy from this seller:
If youre not familiar with alibaba it is a more wholesale version of ebay, and almost everything is located overseas (china/taiwan, so on) - you can negotiate a price dependent on quantity.

and to answer your question: the OE bumper will fit but you'll need to replace the fenders/grill/hood as well.

Do I need the fenders? and I think I get away with out a new hood.
Thanks for the help!

W204Man

I found this it looks like the bumper is around 900 Need to get the info on the fenders.

Ok so I talked to the guy and MOQ is 5. He said they will be coming out in November. I asked for a rough price and he said 1000-1200 but price will be lowed after volume production. I need at least 4 other people to go in with me.
The kit includes front bumper, side skirts, and rear bumper.

for OEM bumper you'll need the fenders as well, as the stock fenders don't have as wide of a lip to match up to the bumpers edges. So the OEM C63 bumper and OEM non AMG fenders won't match up! But be careful with the aftermarket bumpers made for the none AMG w202 as the bottom side edge of the lip kind of tapers in and looks awkward. I have read this complain from some member that have gone the after market way.

@tasho3
Should I just go all oem parts?

tasho3

if you have the money for it, I say yes! fitment is going to be much better too.

Here is a member that went the OEM way https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...hread-101.html scroll down to post #2521

and here is a lead for used OEM fenders: https://mbworld.org/forums/exterior-...t-fenders.html

In that case I would probably trade in my car for a '12

(Looking at your other thread you wanted to upgrade to HK as well. Then it's way cheaper to just get a different car.)

I would love a newer c class but I am 16 and my dad wont let me get one.

W204Man

I think I will stick with the original bumper style. But are remanufactured bumpers any good or should I stay away from? That would help me save some $$$.

You have a 2013 E in the family? Is the the rebodied one then? A friend is doing a factory pickup in a week or so of a new E Bluetec Diesel and I've been wondering if it will be the new model.

W204Man

Yes its the new body. My dad was going to get the bule tech but he could not find any he liked in Houston so he just got the 350. I told him to get the 550 but he puts like 40000 miles a year so no v8's for him. Thats why I have a c300 at 16 years old. 172,000 miles and still running strong! I think the 2012 blue and 2013 E350 are the same body style.

W204Man

just wanted to do a little update. I tried fitting a 2012 oem c63 bumper and fenders and they did not fit.

Maybe you're looking for this...

I was just saying if you want a 2012 c63 look the OEM bumper will not fit. But thanks for the info.

which part didn't fit??

W204Man

I had the bumper and fenders. I didn't test the fenders. But the bumper did not fit.

Our C63 style bumpers are made for the non C63 W204. Fits like OEM on the non C63 fenders.
