2012 C63 Front Bumper Retrofit ?
Has anyone thought of retrofitting the front bumper from a 2012 C63?

I found one online and it seems like it would fit

You also lose the fog lights with this swap, I understand you gain the LED though....

Hey olszowa, nice find! I've been wanting to retrofit one of these for awhile now. I can let you know if it fits if you can find out if they'll ship one to the U.S. And at least with the euro bumper it elminates those side markers too!

They are asking almost 10'000zł for the bumper which is $3050 incl. taxes.
That seems expensive for a "used" bumper.
I think the US price of the bumper will be much cheaper.
If you're still interested I can ask of they'll ship to the US

Yeah that seems pretty steep for a used bumper! I would imagine a new one with LEDs would be around 1/2 that price. I think I'll be patient a little longer as I'm sure the parts #'s should be showing up in the dealer's database any day now, with the 2012's hitting the streets. Thanks anyway!

That grill is not the 2012 C63 AMG grill. So I kind of doubt that's a real bumper to begin with.

I'm guessing they just grabbed a C class grille lying around and loosely fitted it on the bumper for presentation purposes. The tabs on the bumper aren't even connected to the grille.

Yea could be, but it can also be a mock up. Given that the price is so high, something smells fishy on this one.

+1 and the price is so high because it's the first 2012 front bumper I've seen available here so they are trying to get an impatient customer who wants the bumper immediately
