2014 Bumper on 2012 swap simple? My 2012 was rear ended so perfect time to swap...

So long story short, a completely avoidable, unnecessary, fender bender happened in a parking lot. I had the right of way and a Corolla pulled out not in front of me, no that would of been nice as I could of hit the breaks and/or swerved, but INTO the side/rear bumper of me as I was going past. WTF!

No question that the other driver is at fault, the damage to the E is a scuffed rear bumper and a small dent/scratch on the rear quarter panel where the bumper meets.

My question is, can I get a bumper and exhaust tips from a 2014 sport put on? Is it a basic bolt on swap or are they different molds?

I'm getting an estimate later today.


Thanks gents

C320
The m272 is just as flawerd as your m271. If you want reliable, get a c240 or c320 with the m112 engine. Swap all the nice bits from your c230 like the sport suspension, brakes interior, trim etc. An engine swap is going to be more time consuming and expensive than buying a reliable c320.

I recall ChrisTheSwede saying that the facelift bumper won't fit correctly on pre-facelift because the tail lights are different sizes. Can someone confirm?

I think that is correct. OP would have to do tail lights with bumper. Tail lights are like $300-$400 or so each new unless it's on ebay or something
