Bumper upgrade

Hi,
I am looking to upgrade my standard bumper to the AMG or possibly the SL 65 bumper. Can anyone tell me the best way to do that?

I have a 2003 SL500.

Are you looking to spend tons of $$$? You could buy them new or I found my AMG bumpers on eBay used for a good price. You could start there or maybe the classifieds thread...

Well it's an old car and saving cash will be nice. I ordered one from an after market company and the quality was horrible. Sent it back. I will check ebay. Thank you.

Will a SL 65 bumper fit my car?

Oh and I just checked ebay. Not a lot there and many were damaged. Darn

I believe it will, but I don't know for sure cuz I'm not that familiar with the SL's. As long as it's pre 08 and no wide body I think your good.

As I posted on the 55/65 forum, it will fit your car but be sure that you get all of the parts that are necessary for the installation; grill, screen mesh, fog lights, side markers, tow hook cover, washer covers and all of the bits and pieces that go behind the cover itself.
