Red face Converting CLS 2012 to 2015 Facelift?

Hi guys,

So I came across a classified that sells 2011 12 CLS (Designo 1) with 2015 facelift, I did not even know that it was possible.

Is anyone aware where can I buy front grill of 2015 that fits 2012 model? Or would just original OEM part fit fine?

You would need the entire front bumper assembly.

Any idea how much that costs? I also noticed that old CLS has daylight lights at the bottom that would have to be removed? Since 2015 models got rid of it

So are the new headlights and bumper straight swap for old ones?

Hi,
Does anyone have a definitive answer on if a new style (2015-2018) CLS 63 AMG REAR Bumper will fit a 2012 CLS 63 AMG? Is it a remove and replace fitment? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
