Hello guys...,

My dad has 2002 S320 in Asia, he wants to update the car to look like the current S-class. He got the bi-xenon and the rear taillight.
I know the grill looks different.
Therefore I need new hood too right for the new grill?

Heres what I am planning to do:
Get new hood
New Grill
AMG Front Bumper

Are those all I need for the front look? Can it be done?

TIA.

You need the front bumper, new grill, and new hood, and you will have the updated look

...Don't forget those mirrors. You have the updated signal mirrors as well to replace.

Thank you for the replies.
How about the exhaust?
I am thinking about the AMG exhaust. S320 only has single exhaust, as for AMG has double exhaust. Will it be the same as S500 getting AMG exhaust? Since S500 has double exhaust too. Thank you again.

if i'm not mistaken, the new dual tip amg exhaust is only found on the S55 AMG. i'm not sure if the S500 with the sport packages come with that same exhaust. someone else can verify that.

its only on the s55 not the s500. but don’t forget the nav and the new square buttons you need to change that.
and yes it can be done even the nav and new buttons good luck.

S55 has double exhaust as well as S500 as of my knowledge.
S500 missing those double twin exhaust tips though..

Since your Dad has an '02, wouldn't it be cheaper just to trade it in for an '03? Just a thought...

Man-Du

because it would suck to complete the exterior to look like a 04 but when somebody ask, "what year is the car".....what is your dad to say.

Posing an old car to a new car to me is as bad as a kit car. Plus, the interior will be a dead give away that your S-Class is a poser. The new dash, switches, COMAND and seats are different.

It's not worth it.

S_kLaSse

yeah .. I know. To talk to my dad to trade in for 03 is a pain in the ***, since the new S-class is on its way. I know he will get the new one. It is just that in a mean while, make his 02 to look better. I never thought of 'POSER' or anything, I only thought of making it look nicer. Plus the badge say is 'S320' and as for 03 is 'S350'. So, will it really be thought as a 'POSER' if I modify it???

It's your (or your father's car). Do what pleases you (or your father) and don't worry about what other people think. Just remember to always 'drive it like it's stolen!'

I don't think it will be "poser" to do the upgrades. I just thought it would make more sense financially to trade it in for an '03 plus you'll get the updated interior along with it.

S_kLaSse

Oh.... It's true that with 03, it will saves me alot of work plus I will get the upgraded interior too. haha.... I know my dad won't do it. Thanks though.

LOL Armani, love your quote so much.. 'drive it like it's stolen!' My dad gonna me for sure... when he does, I will show him this thread. hahaha...

I agree. I have spent over 3k my '00 S500 facelift. I thought I would be happy for at least a year, but I still think the '03 looks better. So I'm just going to stop where I am (no ground effects kit) and order a W221.

Remember the 2003 and 2004+ COMAND is different.
