where you wana buy it from? price?

FCSmthree

+1, How much? Don't you need different brackets/mounting hardware for the bumper?

Also, what if we just wanted the tails?

WoodHill Motors

Ahh, I absolutely love the E63 styling package.

Waaay hot!

Except, I prefer the 07 19 in AMG SL 5-spoke wheels.

The parktronic will be the only part that will make this difficult. I have contacting Steve aka MBenzNL and he could not guarantee me that the parktronic will work since the wiring is different.

If you don't have parktronic then the conversion should be more straightforward.

W219CLS55

What is Mbemznls' contact #

W219CLS55

I have A set of those. They came off my 06' CLS55 the only thing is they are in chrome and they are in excellent condition on a scale from 1-10 i would say a 10. The tires have 7,000 miles on them and I am willing to list them on Ebay.

Hey Rashed. Update looks good on your 500 mate. Nice looking ride

W219CLS55

Wow Wow! I was looking for you Rashed I saw that you had done that to your e500 but I couldn't find you anymore

Anyways, what if I have parktronic & distronic will this still function like that?

MARK CUMMINS

To Add a Model update W211 Front Bumper with the Parktronic option it will require a REPLACEMENT bumper with Parktronic as the holes for the Parktronic sensors are molded into the Model update Bumper 2007on.

There are steps in WIS to retrofit Parktronic But One MUST drill the Bumper for the sensors and glue the sensor bracket to the inside of the bumper

IF The car has distronic ..And You want the Model update look then all one needs is a replacement grill with the distronic window ...

JDM_SXE-10

Isn't it possible to keep your existing headlights because I remember seeing a member on here that didn't update the headlights.

MARK CUMMINS

Yes...Several people have done the Model update WITHOUT installing the New Style Model Update Headlights

III II I I AMG

so.. lets see.. who can get the lowest prices on the front end parts without headlights.. and taillights

JDM_SXE-10

That's what I thought, thanks for the confirmation.

JDM_SXE-10

Also keep in mind that prices vary from dealership to dealership so it may be worthwhile to shop around.

W219CLS55

I'm in the process of getting a quote as if I was A local paint and body shop and that should be like 30-40% off.

At least that's what I"m hoping for.

W219CLS55

For everything except xenon headlights which are 1239.00 x2.
Conversion with the tailights $2,551.50 without the tailights $2,131.50
With the xenons and tailights $5,029.50 Without the tailights $4,609.50.

III II I I AMG

2131,5 sounds good, i've been wanting to do this for a while now.. posted something about it long ago.. but i guess the idea just flew by my head as days passed by.. but can the work be done diy? is it hard to do?

DBrasco

Hey bro do you know what happened to the guy from mbworld trying to get a group buy that front bumper???

Rafal

You'vr left out the rear bumper and diffuser

Rafal

You've left out the rear bumper and diffuser.

W219CLS55

I think I like the E55 Bumper for the reason being that I allready have the CLS55 bumper and the diffuser is exactly the same so I figured a non E63 owner would not be able to tell the difference or at least I hope so.


But hey that was a good point

W219CLS55

That is a good question.
But, I was thinking that whoever is going to do this. We might as well do whatever mods that require to be done with the bumper removed example VRP Intercooler upgrade kit and whatever else needs to be done with the front bumper removed. Just a thought
