There was a thread once about the front end conversion to the E63 style. Here was a post made by MBenzNL regarding parktronic and the front end conversion:
PARKTRONIC: mercedes changed suplier of parktronic sensors meaning that the PTS sensors that fit the newstyle bumpers are completely different then the ones used before the modelupdate...it is not possible to use modelpdated sensors in combination with pre modelupdated control unit and rear sensors which means that one either has to change the PTS system (new sensors, new bumper harnesses front and rear, new control unit and a change of bumper harness connectors on the main harness) OR one has to try to get some oldskool parktronic brackets as they are glued into the CLK or SLK bumpers and glue those into the newstyle 211 bumper (but that will be hard as those brackets are not available separate and the ones used in the pre updated 211 bumpers are of no use for the updated 211 bumpers).

I remember that thread. The parktronic was a big pain for the front-end conversion. However, I do recall that a couple of members were able to complete the conversion successfully.
