Converting Base to Sport

Hello friends,

I am getting my wife a loaded 2017 C Class sedan. She loves everything about it except its missing one thing! AMG sports kit. Does anyone know if its possible to change the base kit to a sport kit without losing any features? also how much est. will this run me painted and all? any tips before I do it?

I attached photos of the current car.

Thanks!!

Your wife has good taste. It looks much better with sport package. I wouldn't consider buying this car without it.
If you're installing it yourself, it'd run you about 2k. $1,300 for the bumpers and about $700 for the paint, more or less. I've seen it on youtube before, so it's doable. Here's what I found:

Suspension and brakes are also different.

I don't think anyone realistically expect to be able to retrofit the whole package

I'm pretty sure he's referring to the sport look. I've never heard of anyone going as far as replacing the suspension. Half baked or not, sometimes it's the only option available. I changed my halogen to LED, and it's not even considered "baked". But so what? it's better than doing nothing.

LMFAO, this guy. No disrespect to you Nardo, but I laughed so hard when I read that, I almost fell off my chair.

Anyway.... there are retrofit instructions in WIS for retrofitting AMG sport styling exterior pieces, but it's alot of work and a bit pricey if you buy the stuff from the dealership. I'm sure you can find it online somewhere for cheaper, but who knows how good the fitment will be. I would just try to find one with the AMG styling package already installed. like mine .
