Rear valance and tips updated look, what parts do I need
What parts would I need to update a 08 amg sport s550 to 2010 rear tips and valance?
I don't want the quad just the updated square tips single on each side
Do I just swap the valance and buy 2010 square tips and weld on? Or replace entire rear bumper?
Anybody sell the tips and valance?

You will need a 2010 bumper as well, unless you want modify yours. If you get just a valance it will not directly fit in ur bumper, because clips are in different positions.

anyone have any knowledge on this. for a 07-09 s550 s550 with amg kit, will the entire rear bumper need to be swapped to fit the 010 square tips or does just the rear diffuser/valance need to be changed. I am also interested in the square tips.(dont like the quads )but cant seem to find them anywhere on ebay.

The valance is the same shape and contour, only thing you need to do is to modify the clips. And to be honest its easier and will be almost the same price-wise to just buy 2010 bumper, or find used one. The reason is bc those clips are small and have to fit in the bumper perfectly, so either you will save some money by not buying new bumper and it wont fit good. Or you you will pay a lot to modify yours for perfect fitment.

rear bumper update
thanks for the reply...but am still a little bit confused
by "valance" do you mean the actual rear bumper or just the diffuser?
Cause to me they are not same shape at all. which clips are you refering to that need modification to avoid buying a whole new bumper?
sorry for these questions...am new to these s550 terminologies so i find it hard to know which part exactly you are talking about.
as an alternative, will the 2010 sport rear bumper fit without modifications?
