Talking W211 AMG Bodykit and Front/Rear Climate Control Question

Q1: Hi there,
I have a 2004 W211 E270CDI Elegance which has the stock bodykit on it, however i wish to install an aftermarket W211 AMG E55 bodykit, when i did this on my E39 BMW 5 series i had to purchase new wheel arches/guards as the old ones wouldn't fit anymore. Do i have to do the same with the E55 amg bodykit? or will the old wheel arches/wells be fine?


Q2: My car has the standard analogue front heater controls with the two knobs (without the LCD screen) anyway i found that i am able to get the LCD rear centre console heater controls, however im unsure if they will fit my car from factory, will there be a cable behind the console for the rear controls, or won't they fit?


This is what i have ATM:


This is what i want to buy:



Q3: With the front climate control, i have the analogue system, is it possible to upgrade to the Digital Dials like the one below?

I added the AMG body kit along with several other oem items.
The bumpers can be fitted without replacing the inner fender liners.

You can add the digital AC control in the dash as I did mine.
The rear wil require a lot more work ...as the vents. Re in the b pillars
So you will need new front door panels,b pillars,vent ducts,wire harness and lots of labor...as the rear control for rear AC and is not pre wired

Here are a few pics of the wife's 211 during the install

So i can plug in and play the new front climate controls without any modification?
