Question C55 to CLK63 Front Bumper Swap

Has anyone done this?

I have searched the forum and read the few posts about the swap out….. there appeared that there was conflict if this could be done or not…..

I think this would be an awesome mod/replacement.

I would suspect the usual (bumper, fog lights, mesh inserts, etc).

I would love if someone actually did this or tried...

I have looked into this in the past and this would not be a cheap option, you would need the following:

fogs
harness to change the fog from an H7 to H1 bulb.
all lower grills
front bumper cover
complete front bumper reinforcement with foam inserts
front left and right wheel well liners
side marker lights

As crazyasian metioned, if you want to do this, contact Sunil. He is the one with the most recent part numbers, know-how and can save you a lot of time.

He also works directly with Steve when it comes to getting European parts not available in the States. This is not your case. You can get all the necessary stuff from any US dealer.

Good luck.

a CLK63 front bumper does fit on a C55...same headlights, same crashbox, almost the same fenders and a slightly different (interchangeable) grill

eventhough we actually are based in the netherlands, our work is not limited to the dutch borders...and a hawaiin trip is scheduled for the second half of april

greetingz,
