The rear bumper and side rocker panels will bolt right on from a MY00+ W210 but the front bumper will not. You will have to go with a custom front bumper from like Brabus or Carlsson or something but you will still have the separation between the bumper itself and the panels under the headlights. As for the blinking mirrors, you will have to rewire them to work with you car and run the wires for the blinkers into the door sills. You can buy as a fake antenna for the roof but that's not my style. Also, IMO do not rebadge the car to an E55 or something as that's not what the car is. For steering wheel upgrade with switches, mirrors and a command system if interested, contact Steve MBenzNL in this forum for further details...Good luck on your upgrade, post some pics. when you're done...
