Rear facelift Help
Hi Everyone
I have a 2008 s550 (AMG sport package) and recently completed the facelift of the front end with no problems(Thanks to Chris the Swede's super simple harness) . I am now attempting to do the butt lift
and running into a few problems. I know I am in the minority, but I am trying to just upgrade to the 2010+ square tips instead of the s63/s65 look. I have been told I need to replace the entire rear bumper which I hate to do, but if I must I must. Does anyone have a list of 2010+ part numbers for everything I will need to get this done. Went to the dealership and of course that was no help
. I have stayed OEM so far(front bumpers, headlights, mirrors and grill) although the taillights are aftermarket, and would like to keep the rear bumper OEM.
I have searched the forums and found much info on upgrading the front but there is almost nothing on upgrading the rear.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
