SL65 Bumper to fit SL55???
As most of you already know I have wrecked my SL55, what I need to know is will the SL65 Bumper fit on my SL55? The shop is willing to order the 65 bumper through the insurance claim. Any input will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

AFAIK the SL65 bumper is the same as the SL55 030 Perormance Package bumper. So yes.

I really can't answer that .... I just remembered this ad from a month ago and thought you'd like a look at it .... you might want to call the seller to ask them what's the deal regarding the SL65 bumper replacement.

It will fit just fine. We have several SL55 clients who have done it.

you can also put the 2007 sl65 bumper. They change the front grill also, so you will have the new look. My friend did it and its awesome.
