CLK63 front bumper attached to a 2004 CLK500 cabriolet

I currently own a 2004 CLK 500 Designo Cabriolet with the AMG exterior package (W209 body style). I am replacing my front bumper and would like to install a CLK63 BS (black series) or CLK63 (standard bumper). Will the CLK63 bumper fit onto my CLK 500? And what issues will I face with the following (if any?)

1. Is the Bolt Pattern the same?
2. Any issues with blending into the side panels?
3. Will I be able to reinstall my existing fog lights?
4. Lastly, If the CLK63 bumper works, Where can I buy one? (Ebay??, Online parts??)

Any answers to these questions, would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!

I have attached a photo of my car along with a photo of the spoiler I like (CLK63).


Thanks and have a GREAT DAY!!

Won't work without the 63 fenders dude. And why would you want to cobbler the factory fogs into a work of art?

Where's Waldo? OK, no fog lights, different lip, side vents, massive flare to extended wheel openings. What did I miss?

Oh, and no way it switches out with those wheel openings. How many points do I get?

The Black Series bumper is out of the question but couldn't the regular CLK 63, non-Black Series bumper fit?
It may not match the AMG skirt behind the front wheels but I would think that it could be installed with all-new fog lights and grilles. Just thinking.

Go with the 63 AMG bumper, it's a nice upgrade.

Front Bumper

So sounds like the conclusion is:

The CLK63 AMG front bumper will work on my 2004 CLK500 but the CLK63 black series will not work?

Does everyone confirm?

The 63BS might work but it will look stupid with the wide front bumper.
Just look at the wheel arches.

CLK63 bumper

I understand the CLK63 BS (black edition bumper will not work because of the wheel arches, But will the CLK63 AMG Standard bumper (not Black Edition) work?

Yep, but you should double check if you can use your current bumper frame or if you need to buy a new one. Wes could pitch in with this

1. I think so, not 100% sure.
2. No
3. No, you have to buy new ones, along with fog grilles and center grille.
4. There is one seller on ebay that sells 63 bumper in fibreglass for around $425.
