Im trying to find a little more aggressive front bumper without having to go thru the troubles and cost of doing the e63 front end conversion.
i really want something with a lip or more aggressive than the stock front end.
anybody have any idea if the e500 bumper will fit? or if theres any other options? The reason i am asking about the e500 front bumper is because i see that they make lips or front spoilers for that one.

Yes it will fit as long as that year is 03-09. The body style is exactly the same on these cars. You might need styrofoam support behind the bumper.

If they are both pre-facelift then the swap is simpler. If one is pre and one is post then you will need to get a front grille as well. Typically the E500 will be an early model W211 while the E350 will be a later one.

Thanks guys,
what about the fog lights? would i have to get different housings?

s2kteg

this is how it sits right now, with the stock front end. hopefully looking to change the front end with in the next month.

Yes if yours is a pre-face lift model and you doing a post facelift then you will need new fog lights, grill, and bumper installation parts.

nice looking ride you got there. i reckon the engine displacement is not a factor if youre just doin a bumper swap. it all depends if your car is an Elegance, Avantgarde or has the Sports package. now if youre doin a facelift, then thats a different story, you will need all dewana421 mentioned above.

So as long as i use the pre face lift bumper then im good with my fogs correct?
im thinking of just keeping the preface lift look and add a lip all around.

Thanks for the comment, and my car is just base model.

no worries. here in Aus, your car is an Elegance model, the Avantgarde would have a slightly different front bar, side skirt and rear bar, and the sport package is totally different as well. im pretty sure that you cant find a front spoiler for any of these models that will fit like a glove. but if you want to go for an E55 front bar then theres is a lip available for it, still a straight swap with your current bumper (i think). but if you want to go for the E63 facelifted look, you'll need a few more items. try to search google, W211 Elegance, W211 Avantgarde, sport package, E55 and E63. you'll see the difference.

What year e55 bumper can I use?

beejAMG

03 to 06, any e55 will do a straight swap with your bumper. Then you can add a lip.

Regarding on e500 bumper for your E350. Yes and No. Yes, if its 06 E350. No, if your E350 07-up

I believe that prior to 2007, the V6 engines were 3.2; therefore they were E320s. I have seen some E350 that did not have the facelifts yet, but those were probably built right on the cusp of the update.

^ thats right. now the signature of the OP says 2006 E350 and the photo is definitely a pre facelift, engine designation is not a factor in this case (at least from my neck of the woods) ANY E55 front bar will work as a straight swap.
