I finally got the rear bumper off. Way harder than the front in my opionion. I think I made a mistake assuming the Skelton of the rear bumper would be the same as the 07-09. The bumper I bought came with no plastic Skelton parts in the rear just the cover. Has anyone swapped the plastic pieces. Looks almost impossible to take off the old one as the tabs seem melted to the bumper. Ahhh ohh. The setup looks slightly differnt too. Anyone have part numbers???
Anyone have any suggestions or know the part numbers to the inside bumper? I think the dealer won't sell the Skelton piece they are saying its part of the bumper?
Got the rear bumper on. Bought that plastic piece out of California for $200. Hopefully if someone sees this they won't buy a Rear bumper without that cradle piece. Mercedes won't sell it so you will have to bother 100 ppl on eBay and hope one person will sell it. Anyways scheduled to have the rear exhaust put on tomorrow. I'll
Post the extra parts I had to buy and prices. Roughly I'm at $3000 with me doing all install work except pain . All parts are oem except front grille and exhaust. I'm very happy.
As to help anyone who takes on this project this should save you many hours with the parts counter...Im not a professional in any way and figured this out with no special tools. It could be done in 1 to 2 days easily if you have all the right parts.... This was everything I needed to buy and I used some brackets off the old bumper, such as the side rear bumper brackets.. I actually wound up taking the old fogs lights off my old bumper putting the old fog lights inside of them so they stayed sealed. I than zip tied the old fog lights up inside the bumper so you don't see them and black taped everything so no light shows if the old fog lights ever come on.

oem, I hate putting stuff on my car that isn't oem. So far only non oem is tail lights, grille, exhaust tips... I wanted to upgrade the mirrors but don't think non oem will work correctly with cheap quality and I can't find out if oem 2010 + will wire in with no problems.
I kept asking if anyone knew if the eom 2010+ mirrors would be a plug and play fitment for the 07 to 09 but couldn't get any help. So to keep on my conquest to do a complete oem facelift I have purchased oem mirrors and will find out for myself. As keeping true to logging all part numbers to help someone out there
First off I have had a lot of help from members on this board so I figure it's my turn to do some typing and maybe my post can help others. This is the start to my 2007 S550 AMG package facelift to 2010-2014 S63 AMG (note very important not to put an S63 logo on the back just because it looks like one) I know there is a bunch of posts on here with people doing it but I'm doing it with mostly OEM parts except for the exhaust and front grille. However I have searched a lot of the boards and never got all the information in one spot. So I'm gonna make this detailed so someone can just come here for all the information. Important note, I have the AMG package installed on my S. If you don't have the AMG package it is more detailed than my post. From my little bit of research you would have to change out at least fender liners and some more parts. Ok here is the parts I bought with part #'s and prices so you can figure out how much this is gonna cost you. The bumpers I was smart and got good deals on eBay but the other parts your not gonna find on eBay cheaper than parts.com. Everything but the bumpers, grille, and exhaust tips came from parts.com

The fog lights in the picture were the wrong ones so I gotta ship them back and return them for the part number listed above.
Going to take the bumpers to the body shop and have them painted. I got everything figured out except the issue with the fog lights. I have heard if I hook up the existing fog light wiring to the new ones it will throw a code. Research has shown that I can buy a 50 ohm resistors but they get hot and can over heat. Another option is to tap the side markers and get it from that. Still have no clue how to do it. With this bumper there are no side markers, some have them some don't on the s63 depending on year. So I'm not sure since I don't need my side markers anymore if I could just use the wiring and hook it up to the fogs. I'll update you when I figure it out. Maybe someone knows a solution to get no error for both having no side markers now and having the fog lights on. So this is where I am at now. I'll make posts when I figure stuff out.
Gonna attach photos of the stuff.
is it possible just to do the Daytime strip conversion? (I have 09 S63) thank you!
