C43 AMG facelifted Diffuser+pipes on Prefacelift sedan
Hello all!
Past few weeks I am having huge headache.
I own 2017 C43 AMG sedan (prefacelift). Diffuser and pipes do look sexy, however 2019 facelifted rear end looks way more sporty.
is it possible to retrofit 2017 c43 diffuser+ pipes with facelifted version? I found genuine option for 1000€ and it states it is fully compatible to put facelifted diffuser with pipes on any W205 with AMG exterior.
However, knowing facelifted diffuser+ pipes look more than great, I did not manage to find a single real
life example/picture of prefacelift C43 sedan with diffuser of a FL.
Could you please help, if this retrofit is possible? Any examples I could check? Maybe this retrofit would make dummy looks (facelift has 4-pipe, whereas prefacelift has 2-pipes)?
Any opinions? I have hard time understanding why can not I find a single example.
(I attach photo of my rear end prefacelift diffuser - that I would wish to retrofit with facelift diffuser + pipes)

Yea, your comment kind of aligns with the description of the product - it should fit prefacelift. However I wonder if there are any additional works required (exhaust pipe modification/cutting, additional drilling of bolt space in bumper etc.), or everything just perfectly fits the current bumper and diffuser space.
Also, biggest concern to see/talk with people who have actually done it, are they happy, any example photos. Because for me it is impossible to find any example I could look for.
this retrofit seems like a no brained for me, tho genuine parts cost high $$$, I would like to make sure everything’s weighted
Anyone tried this retrofit, and have experience with it? Or photos?
I have a 2018 and installed the facelift diffuser on my sedan. I purchased from cks performance, they have the genuine MBZ part in night package or chrome.

Hey man you are sent from above! Thankyou for picture and comment! Is it possible I find you on Instagram and you could show me more angles/photos of your amazing set?
Any others who did this retrofit and are happy, or have any comments on the upgrade?

I can only speak for the genuine Mercedes part, which is around $1K US, but it will replace the current diffuser 1 for 1 swap. It fits flush and perfect. The material looks pretty solid. I'm happy with it and so far I think it's the best looking mod you can do to a pre facelift C43.
You have to remove the bumper to install it, and it largely attaches via clips.
