C43 Facelift Bumper??

Does anyone know if the facelift bumper is available for purchase yet? I am in between doing the abs replica C63 front from ebay (the quality is great tbh)or the C43 facelift. I do not like the fact that we have the same bumper as the lesser C300 model. Our cars are indistinguishable from the front.

Wait until the 2019 C43 bumper is available. Please don’t put the face of a 63 on your 43.

Though I will add, the facelift C43 has the same bumper as the 'AMG line' cars, just like the current model. The only difference from the front is the grille.

Judging by the prices of other front bumper kits, it will be anywhere from 1500 - 2000 euro or 1750 USD to 2500 USD.

If your goal is to make it look different from the 'lower models', the only option is a C63 style bumper. The facelift bumper is used across the range, not just on the C43.

Just a heads up for anyone. The facelift C43 grille star is not the same as the one used on the pre-facelift cars.

If you order the C43 facelift grille, make sure you also get the replacement star

Hmm... Might be different here in the UK then?

C300 AMG Line:


C43:



Identical other than the grille and a slight difference in splitter.
