C32 Bumper question

Can someone help me in figuring this out. I am looking to buy a C32, but i would like to fit the C55 bumper into it? is That possible. I know they look very similar, and i compared them both, it looks like the C55 lip is a bit longer and bigger. Thanks for your input.

they won't work. They C55 has a CLK front end. In order to do this you'll have to get new hood, new fenders, new headlights, new foglights, new grille, and a new bumper not to mention all the small parts needed.

How about not enough cash ?? Not everyone can afford a C55 ! He may get a used C32 for around $30k. Even a used C55 still want $40K ?? :

correct! Money is always a factor. I could wait until next year and get a C55, but at this point i really like the C32 they are selling and it does not seem right to pay 45 to 50K for almost the exact same car. Don't get me wrong i would love to have the C55, i just don't have the cash at this moment. Thank you for the input.

Wow your car is gorgeous man! Very nice, the e420 i had, I sold it, I got a pretty good deal, then my wife wanted a jeep so i leased it, now i got tired of it, it is too slow. I am looking to get something really nice, and fast, and since i can't afford a new C55, the C32 is affordable and fast and also a pretty good looking car. My E420 wasn't half as nice as yours, I would have still been driving it. I was looking into a C43 but no response, also the price of course is much less. Thanks.
