Just bought a 2010 OEM AMG front bumper - how do i put it on my 08 s550 (non amg)?
I have a 2008 S550 4matic non AMG. I just bought a 2010 OEM AMG front bumper (used) off ebay. It doesnt come with any of the covers or LEDs or anything like that.
1. Will this be a direct fit or will I have to buy anything else? I have a non AMG bumper on my 2008 S550. I have heard that people have to buy new wheel wheels as well.
2. Can I buy the OEM LED DRLs for this? If so how would this hook up? I have seen people on the forums say they tapped into sidemarker lights. I would also be open to buying aftermarket lights if they fit in easier.
3. Where can I buy the screens.covers that go over the openings?
Thanks!

I'm not specialist in this subject but as no-one else haven't replied yet I'll give you info what I know.
1. Should be direct fit if it's OEM. Surely you don't have to buy new wheels for bumper to fit.
2. Yes just buy LED DRL's from for example Ebay.
3. Not sure about that. Haven't seen them sold separately. Your local dealership should be able to help.

I did this conversion on my W220. If the 221 is similar then all of the mounting hardware and brackets are identical. The way to verify this is to get on the free Startek Electronic Parts Catalog. First run your VIN, go to the front bumper section and print out the list of part numbers.
Next, find the VIN of an AMG car from the same year (Autotrader works for this) and run that VIN. Print out the part numbers.
Now run down both lists of part numbers and cross off the matches. Whatever's left you need to buy.
For grilles use Ebay. Search for W221 AMG bumper grilles. If your bumper did not come with a tow eye cover, you'll need to find that or buy new.
