GLE / ML Compatibility?
Hey Guys,

I've searched high & low and have seen post regarding GLE parts and have seen a lot of kits, but my question is does the OEM GLE Bumpers fit the ML?

There is a conversion thread on this site. The search button will provide it. It’s not 100% clear to me that the project is:

a. Easy
b. Cheap
c. Desirable

I've seen a few conversion threads, but my question is has anyone used OEM parts? When I see these conversion threads I see from the photos the bumpers used are all Chinese reps.

Seen it, but unfortunately that leads me back to my original question. Has anyone used OEM parts? The videos on youtube and the threads here all unfortunately use Chinese replica bumpers.
