Gavrocool, saw on another string, that you found out the 2014 grille won't fit on a pre-2014. What else have you discovered in your conversion quest?

The front is quite easy because we will change the bumper anyway.I have ordered the parts for the front.When they arrive I will post all the info.
Hello I'm really interested to your conversion. I have E w207 cabrio 2011. I'd like to replace the taillights with the new ones. Does they work fine? Do I have to replace the rear SAM? Please let me know.
Thanks

No, not yet..I will change the bumper when I will be sure how to reprogram the rear SAM for the new taillights. Please can you explain me (step by step) how to fix the problem with the rear SAM? Thanks.

Anyone can help me?

My friend has a W212 2010 and we are trying to install the new full led headlights.
We have bought new front SAM A2129003021 and new full led headlights.
MB dealer has reprogrammed the new SAM but the headlight don't work properly. He has modified the datacard (+642 +628 -619 -608).
On the new SAM there are not two pins that there was in electrical scheme (30L).
