Facelift rear bumper

I have the pre-facelift/LCI rear bumper. However I really like the facelift/LCI bumper as the diffuser looks much better on it

My question is, and I've look at forum and pics, if I do replace the rear bumper, would I get away with my normal side skirts and front bumper as I actually quite like them.

Here pics to show what I mean.

I do know for sure that the facelift rear bumper will fit on pre-facelift bodystyles, not sure why you think you have to replace your sideskirts and front bumper though. Obviously, you don't have to replace the sides and front and it really won't look weird if that's what you're asking.

Yeah fitting isn't the issue, it was cos I was reading a thread where someone replaced the rear bumper and a few people were saying if you changed rear then to make it 'match' you would have to do front and sideskirts.

Hoping to find someone whos changed the rear only, just to make sure.

well, whoever said that is giving you a bunch of rubbish. Just change the rear, it'll look fine.

Maybe he wanted the car to look like a c63? (from his picture). C63 does have a different side skirt and fender and front bumper

U don't need to do anything for it to match. The only thing that is needed is different clips to reattach the new style bumper. I got the new style bumper from the junk yard for 140 lol. The oem c63 diffuser with brackets was even more than the bumper at $189 from eBay...more than the whole bumper itself. Install and factory paint from mb dealer certified autobody =$450
