Hey people,

I totally forgot to check sumthing, wat exactly do i need in order to fit a facelift AMG rear bumper and facelift AMG sides on a pre-facelife w210?

would be gr8 if i could get part numbers,

many thanks!

Well, I don't know the part numbers off hand but they're really not that important. Once you have the bumper and sides just go to the stealership and tell them that you need all of the mounting clips for your parts. You will also need the 4 rubber pieces/liners that go in between the bottom of the fenders and the qtr. panels where they meet the side skirts. All of these items that I mentioned are not that expensive and the stealership can look them all up on the computer and tell you exactly which ones you need. Then it's all a matter of just snapping all the clips in yourself and securing a couple of bolts in the rear bumper. Check out this pic. with the rubber pieces circled, those are the ones you need. Sorry I don't have the car anymore so I can't provide any close-up pics...

thanks for the info jimmy, so all i really need is the mounting clips? and the 'stealership' will tell me which ones i need?

i heard that you need brackets to get the bumper on? what was that all about?

ALSO I need your adivse man, i have to make a rush descion on sum rimms, i can get these

Antera 343




19x9.5 rear and 19x8.5 front, wat'd you think? or shall i stick to the normal ones....


thanks alot man...

I'm not sure what "brackets" you need for the rear but it might be the clips that I'm referring to. Either way the stealership will show you on the computer in the parts dept. which parts you will need. They showed me at a couple of different stealerships without a problem.

Anyway, what do you mean by "stick with the normal ones?" Which normal ones are you referring to, the ones you have now? IMHO, if you ask me about my taste on these wheels, no offense but I'd have to tell you that I like the ones you have now. I'm not too crazy of how the center of the wheel sticks out so much compared to the lip so the wheel doesn't appear to be deep. That's just my opinion though and I don't want to offend...

Okay so I don’t really need to worry about anything regarding the AMG kit, just get it sorted once the kits one. (cant wait)

As for the rimms when i said normal rimms i meant the ones i have at the moment, and your right man, if i could change anything on the rimms i have @ the moment it would be so the middle part (inner) part is flat, they stick out a little at the moment. and these 343 stick out wayyy too much if your gonan have a 9.5 rear wheel you wanna show off the dish as much as possible right?

so anyway im going to reorder the same rimms, fresh rimms coming with a fresh AMG kit!

thanks for the advise jimmy!

Save some money man and refinish your existing wheels, they look tight! Use the money saved on doing other mods, there are a lot of things you can do, which I'm sure you know about, hehe.

Oh btw, what type of front bumper are you getting since we already know what's coming for the sides and rear???
