2016 convert to new front grille and OLED tail light

Hi,
I really like new AMG front grille and new S63 coupe OLED tail light. I found one person in Toronto has facelifted his S coupe to new but not change the bumper. I wonder if anyone knows anywhere I can find and buy and maybe install the new OLED tail light of S63 coupe and the new front grille. The OLED light requires programming, and I know very less about it. My car has the carbon package covers the bumper and my bumper's color is rare , thus it would be the best that I do not change my bumper. (I knew that the new front grille can not fit the old bumper perfectly, but I saw a YouTube that rub his bumper and it would be fit).
Above all, does anyone know where I can buy a front grille or an OLED tail light in Canada.
Thanks a lot for reading and helping!

you can convert the whole bumper and front if you have 15-17. if you have 18 up you can just swap the pano grille.
You have to buy all this stuff at mercedes.

Thanks for letting me know that. But I don’t want to change my bumper, since it has carbon covered and my car is ruby black, it seems this color is not more available. I think it would be better to just convert my front grille. I don’t know if it’s possible.

New grille will not find in the old bumper. You either keep the old grille, or replace the bumper to get the new one.

New bumper is supplied unpainted, a good body shop would be able to paint match it using Ruby Black paint. A new car could be ordered in Ruby Black but you'd pay dearly to get the legacy paint; Mercedes doesn't like to do one-offs so they discourage it with excessive pricing for custom stuff.

I know how it works now. For the front grille, it's the easiest part, you can just order the whole bumper and install it in a body shop. Or you can just order the front grille somewhere, it won't fit the old bumper but body shop can polish or rub either the bumper or the front grille just a little and it will fit perfectly (most of my friends have s63 did that and they work well). For the tail light, first, you need to find a new or usable tail light from scarp new s63 (there are a lot in China, the one I have is I bought from China). And I think there is no fake tail light now since S63 is rare around the world. Lastly, in order to make the Oled tail light works correctly, you need to have a W217 tail light retrofit adapter, I bought from the internet (as I know, only one company invite it, to avoid advertising suspicion, you can probably just search from google). Then you can just find a nice place to install all of them.
