modify w220 02--replace bumper to 03 amg, cut the lower 02 hood to look like 03 hood
Hey Guys help me out. I have an 2002 s class which bumper need replacement. So please tell me if i do this right.
I will get the 2003 amg sport bumper becasue it's the coolest. Then I will have the shop to cut the lower part of my 02 hood so it looks open in the bottom at the grill-side as the 03 - 06's hood. Then buy the 03 grill and fit it to the newly cut 02 hood.
So.. do you guys think this will work. Is 03 hood is equal to 02 without the excess bottom. Will the 03 grills snaps perfectly to the newly cut 02 hood area, any dimensional issue with the fitment, what you guys think?
FYI I read that on the 02 if I get the 03 amg bumper and the 03 hood with 03 grills it will be fine.
thanks guys

dont touch the hood, keep your original hood and grill, tell shop to modify the coolest new bumper between headlight and grill, paint and install.
