personally I like the prefacelift 550/amg line front the best. It is aggressive and unique. I do like the updated rear, especially tail lights which are darker.

Totally agree with CLS5504Matic! The facelift looks too much like other lower level Mercedes like the CLA, C300, etc.

Where did you source your bumper? was it already painted?

Can we get in touch as i’m currently trying to change my 2013 crashed bumper into the facelift version 2015+ and keep the older headlights, I worry about hood and fender alignment. If possible please reach me at acejnmedia@gmail.com, I would love to chat

Hi everyone!

I’m planning a specific upgrade for my 2011 W218. I absolutely love the look of the Facelift Multibeam LED headlights, but I actually prefer to keep my Pre-Facelift front bumper.Has anyone here tried this specific combo? I’m wondering about two things:Do the Facelift lights fit mechanically with the older bumper, or is there a gap issue?How much of a nightmare is the wiring and coding to get all functions working on a 2011 model?I've heard parts alone could be around $3,000 - $4,000. Would love to hear if anyone has a parts list or a 'budget' way to do this.

Thanks!
