Custom

A reputable body shop can custom fit it but as far as it bolting up directly I doubt it, the cars have different specs and would need to be altered to work!

No the dimensions are different it has the same style but where the grille comes down to meet the bumper the 209 is slanted back a little more and where it meets the fenders its shaped different also. The best way to go about it is to cut your factory bumper along the impact strip and use the W208 top and fuse the W209 bottom to it. not going to be a easy task to make it flow but if it done right it will look good I was going to do it when I painted my car but didn't want to cut my AMG bumper and couldn't find two donor bumpers in time. may still do it later
