C55 front on a C32
Greetings. Im pondering on the possibility of a C55 front bolting on to a C32. The thought came across my mind when staring blankly at the front of my car riddled in scars due to rock chips. Should I re-paint the front? Or should I just overhaul to the more sleek and updated look of the C55? I'm not a fan of adding equipment to share or imitate something that its not but this front design had always captured my eye.

If you have $5K laying around you can do it. Here is what you need:
Hood, grill, fenders, bumper, fog lights, headlights and all structural parts related to the CLK/C55 front.
In other words, just respray your front clip.

Im not 100% sure but i dont think thats an option... b/c the C55 has a totally different front end, hood, headlights, and a couple of other things as well. the C55's front slopes backwards @ the grille. but if you can do all the fab work... have at it. and good luck.
(i personally would just sand, prime & repaint the front end.)

it has been done, and can be done, but only by those with the time, money, and resources to do so. I'd agree with the others here and say just keep the C32 front end. It's not THAT much different anyway.

It can only be done from engine firewall to front bumper. C55 is a CLK front end. It has different sheet metal from the front door forward.
