How to: Upgrade CLS 500 front bumper to AMG?
First time I have found this web site. Just looking around I am certainly impressed with how knowledgeable the owners are on this website's forum!
I found through the web, this store in chicago called "prestige bumpers" that supposedly refurbishes damaged bumpers and resells primed and ready for install. Cost is approximatedly 500 (+) 85 for shipping.
They have a large number of (+) reviews on Ebay, but has anyone used this place before or heard anything about Prestige Bumpers directly?
My second question is about what modifications/additional parts are needed to fit a CLS AMG front bumper cover on a stock CLS 500?
Will the bumper fit directly on stock configuration?
Can the current fog lamp housing and grill fit with the bumper as well?
Thanks a bunch in advance!

Thats EXACT company I used when facelifting my W211 a year ago. They are legit and sell great bumpers. Fast shipping(Well that might have something to do with my location tho). Just make sure you look at picture and make sure they include everything that is in the picture. They sent me my bumper without a tow hook eventhough it was in the picture. Then when I called they told me the bumpers come as is and that ebay description did not mention tow hook...but I rebutted with the fact that I considered the tow hook apart of the bumper and that the picture on the ebay description was very misleading. Nevertheless, it took like 2-3 weeks of me calling before they sent it out(Instead of buying me one, the guy was going to grab one off the next w211 bumper that came in..so that took while..I think there could have been a better solution).

Between the CLS500 and the AMG, alot of the internal part numbers are the same. However, I think you will need a new tow flap cover and headlight washer covers
