Question about facelift amg bumper swap!

Does anyone know if the facelift bumpers bolt up directly to a pre-facelift car, or are there extra parts/modifications required (brackets, grille, undertray, wheel arch liners, crash bar, etc.)?

Also, if it does fit:

Will it affect parking sensors (PDC) alignment/fitment?

Any issues with radar / DISTRONIC, 360 camera, front camera, headlight washers, or other driver-assist features?

Does it require coding/calibration afterward?

Pics included for context

It will bolt up but remember that you will have mismatched wheel arches since the AMG line has body colored wheel arches. Also can't guarantee your headlights will fit.

i have access to facelift amg style bumpers, arches and grill. But wanted to confirm if the parts will bolt up naturally. And if it will impact the sensors or cameras.
