2006 E55 bumper question
Hi all,
Will a 2006 E55 bumper fit on my 2006 E350? It look like it would without issues but there are two triangles on the front between the headlights that I don't have on my stock bumper. Also, will my stock trim fit the E55 bumper. I know I need to get the mess screen for the bottom and the fog lights as well... not sure where to get the fog lights with screens. I am looking to make my E350 into the sport verison....
I have someone at a body shop that can help with the painting part... just not sure about the fitment and molding pieces...
THANKS,
Anthony

I Installed The AMG E55 Bumpers/Skirts and Quad Exhaust on my 2006 W211
They fit perfect!..Also Added the Large Brakes and AMG 19s to complete the look As long as You use ALL OE MB Pars everything will fit!

Mostly like just get the holes filled in then. Bigger question... Is the E55 molding different than E350 front bumper? Will mine transfer?

Yes I installed the COMPLETE set front / rear bumpers and side skirts...
Re the Bumper with headlight washers ..I Would leave it alone..as You might want to add the H/L washers later?
The Bumper Impact Inserts are the SAME so Yes they can be reused..But the AMG E55 bumper uses different fogs/grills

This is NOT Correct..The Front Bumpers with Headlight washers use a Cover that is Hinged to the BUMPER NOT to the Headlight washer...as the Headlight Washer Pops Up when in use

I purchase mine from local dealer and they are also painted
.You will also need a e55 bumper bracket ( platic thingy's that attach to the inside of the bumper) unless your stock e55 bumper came with it

No Problem Using a Front AMG E55 Bumper WITH Headlight washers...Even IF NO Washers are Used..as The Front Bumper on Our 2006 W211 has the Headlight washer Bumper..But The Car does NOT have the headlight washers ...yet.....as The Headlight washer cover IS Hinged to the Bumper NOT the washer assy

I can use my original bumper molding
I can just get the wiper covers in Pewter

I guess my car is going to look wicked... to me anyway.

Anyone have info on side skirts? Rear bumper? Need anything special here?

Bumper foam? Can it be purchase seperately? I can get my hands on a E55 front bumper relatively cheap... under $200. Just trying to understand what is will take to do this... It seems easy enough... THANKS for all the help so far!!!!
