SL550 to AMG look
So, my 2007 SL is bone stock, I have it for some time now as weekend only car. I love it do death, it's 27k KM (16.7k Miles) on the clock, it was one owner, with service record from local Benz dealer. I have since kept it in the same condition.
It was a car that got me into loving cars, and one I intend to keep as a weeknd car for quite some time.
The only thing I want to change is the front bumper look. If I have to change side skirts thats fine too. I've tried looking through forums and either info is hard to find or search is to complicated. What kind of OEM bumper will fit 2007 SL without AMG front bumper. Is it just "buy AMG bumper from SL55 and be done with it" type of job, is there "amg package bumper", or a list of parts I need along with it to make it work?
There is this kit from Kunzman thats kinda pricey but if that's my last resort, I will go for it.
Thanks for all the help in advance.
EDIT: Typo FIX SL500 V8

I doubt there is a problem switching in the AMG bumper cover. See this benzbit for the procedure. Remove/install front bumper (benzbits.com)
The upper grill can be easily swapped to produce a new look.
Most used flexible bumper covers are cacked or damaged from curbs. They can be tricky to patch.
