02 to 03 AMG front bumber conversion
So I've recently purchased a 02 S430 with the AMG aero on it and was wondering what was involved in converting front end over to a 03 AMG aero. I know the hood is different and would need to be replaced but would that be all? Would I need to change the fenders too? I know it's probably been asked before but I could seem to dig up the answer so I thought I would just ask. Thanks

I just read a post about this actually. According to the person who converted (02 AMG bumper to 04 AMG bumper) all that needs to be done is to get the updated hood as well. It is slightly larger to fit the S600's turbo's so they just mass produced one size hood. I think you should be ok on the rest.

Im sorry chocolatecocain!
I read more into the thread (search AMG bumper facelift) and it seems as though the headlights also have changed shape.. search that in the forums you should find some out exactly.

EZ solution is just to paint them with matching car's color. You dont have to replace anything and it looks nice. You can paint existing parts or get some off ebay and have spare once just in case.
