Facelift

Hi guys,

I am just wondering whether anyone has started thinking of doing some face-lift with your current AMG to newer AMG. I like the new head light but i don't like the new bumper.... I was thinking about getting the new headlight any maybe new hood as well. What do you guys think and how much do you think it will cost?
Honestly i don't know if it's worthed or not?

Thank you

I am like you and like the new headlights but not the bumper. The bapux photos look really great. The cost will be astronomical (at least $4K) and not worth it IMHO.

I do not believe there is a difference in the headlights for the C or C AMG (although I know the fog lights differ, unless you get teh AMG appearance package on the regular C).

I actually like the new bumper, but I hate the new bonnet/hood... it has been.. feminized for a lack of a better term. It does not have the same aggressive lines.

I don't really see the difference between our C with newer C's bonnet/hood, but i will check again with the grill

I am considering 3 options:

option 1:
- new c63 lights
- new c63 BS bonnet
- existing c63 fenders

option 2:
- new c63 lights
- new c63 BS bonnet
- rezosport F1 DTM fenders

option 3:
- the complete c63 BS look for the front.
but wonder if it will even fit or look weird on a sedan...

btw, is the old and new grill same size and dimensions?

Option 1 is what I like. I don't know the size of the grill will be the same or not but by the way they look, look the same to me n I prefer the my current grill as well.

I’m my opinion keep the car the same, I do have to say I really like the new front grill and that’s about all I like on the new car. I really don’t understand all the hype, the front end looks like crap, the hood just looks to simple unless you look at the hood on the BS which I love. The interior that everyone says is soooooooo much better is the same except the dash that I also don’t like as its way too long gated to the passenger side, and what’s up with the with the circle air went. I guess the blank spaces between the gauges and the nav system really bother me.
Just get the DAD's hood and call it a day..

Thank you
