HELP Please! E550 Front Bumper Upgrade

I have a 2011 E550 Sedan and I have purchased and AMG style bumper that looks very similar to the E63. When I put the front bumper on it does not line up with the fender, I have about an extra inch of bumper coming down along the wheel well. I am wondering do I need to cut the bumper or do I have to buy different fenders? I am lost at this moment if you can please help me that would be greatly appreciated. I am new to this forum please help!

The E63 AMG front fenders are wider. Did you not know that? Your bumper will not fit

This is the kit i purchased. So would I need to buy new fenders? https://www.ebay.com/itm/E63-AMG-Sty...-/252720950038

And if new fenders are needed, would I have to purchase aftermarket or factory E63 fenders?

According to the ebay listing, it should fit on a non-AMG w212, it even specifically says not to put it on an E63. I guess you should send pictures to the seller to see what's up.

Yeah before I purchased I read the listing over and over and it should’ve fit, I’m not sure why I ran into this problem.. I’m thinking new fenders will solve the issue or I’ll have to trim the bumper down a bit.

Make the seller pay return shipping but the e63 style bumper from Gary at Suvneer. He is a vendor on here. It fits perfect. However there are no lips made to fit this option from what I know. I opted to keep my stock 550 sport bumper and a carbon lip from the same gentleman. Standup guy. He is out of cali. Communication is spot on and products are quality. Insanely good prices too.
