Will a 2013 AMG bumper fit on a 2011 c300?
I've already tried searching for the answer to this question but I haven't found a clear answer.
I'm currently in the process of a major project of restoring my wife's c300. She got into a major frontal accident and I need to basically restore the whole front half of her car, if you are wondering why I'm not doing this through insurance then the answer to that is simple. My wife cancelled her insurance and was trying to get a new one without my knowledge.
Seeing as how it needs a new front end anyways I figured I might as well give the old girl a face lift. I know that because the AMG fenders are wider than the other C models a OEM AMG bumper will not fit properly. So my question is if its possible to install a 2013 AMG style bumper on a 2011 c300. And if so can someone recommend me some reputable ones being sold out there, please.
To list a few things I'm going to need to buy to get the car back to 100%, new right fender, right headlight, new front bumper, new grille, radiator cover, and a hood.
Thank you for everyone's response.

The bumper will not fit. The bumper attaches on a few spots. It bolts on to the fenders two bolts each side, it slides over two post on the body and two bolts on the top of the bumper that attach to the body. I tried fitting a 2013 OEM C63 AMG bumper on my 2008 c300. It fit over the two post but the top two bolts did not fit properly. The top bolts were about two or three inches away if I remember right. I got the top two bolts to fit but then the fenders did not fit and the bumper was slanted back a lot. I also tried fitting the OEM 2013 C63 fenders but they were to long. That may have been because I was using 08 headlights. Then I tried fitting a 2008 C63 hood and it was too long. So in the end c63 body parts from the a pillar forward will not fit due to the C63 having a longer front end to fit a bigger engine. I would this bumper, may be a hood like this and OEM c300/350 fenders. Sorry to see your car like that. Good luck with the repairs.
Also I saw this when I I was searching the forum, https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...-all-w204.html
Do you think that would work?

I'm doing something similar with my pre-facelift C63:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...-facelift.html
My conclusion was that it was cheaper to go back to stock. The headlight supports are slightly different as well (at least the P/N is different), and I didn't want to go in and have to splice the headlight connectors and have the front SAM unit re-programmed. Anyways, there was some useful info from some of the forum members. I also have a spreadsheet with all the P/N's. Mercedespartscenter.com is a good source for parts since they sell at 60% of what the dealer is asking.
Good luck with the repair. I'm doing mine myself, and am almost done.

Thanks! But it fit my 08 c300 with no major problems, so I would think it would fit your car to. Where the hood and bumper meet it looks a bit off and the chrome trim fitmet is a little bad. But other than that I'm happy. If I can get hold of a good camera I will post some more pics. Iphone pics are not the best.

I'm loving how your car looks
Thank you, good luck to you too. You found a great car there.
It should I got my bumper from Gary in the other day, did some test fits and at first it looked like it wasn't going to fit but with a little elbow grease it went right in.
