E + CLS Facelift

Maybe some of the richer guys here should attempt a W211 facelift with say the CLS front. The W211 in my opinion looks better than the CLS because I'm not really feeling the four door coupe thing, but hey that my opinion and I could be wrong and to some would be wrong. Point is the CLS has a GORGEOUS front, so how about it you rich folks?

Sorry , are you suggesting swapping from end from a CLS? Have you ever looked at the cars? The lines in no way match up. It's not just swapping a bumper and lights you know.

I'm actually doing the E63 conversion, trying to get the parts from mymercedesparts.com with the help of E55Dimon and abrim (thank you guys for the help ). I was just throwing the idea out about the facelift, nothing I would attempt to do but I thought if only the headlights, not the entire front just the headlights were from the CLS I wonder how it would look. People say my headlights look like frog eyes and one guy even called the car ugly I immediately ignored his comment but either way I was just wondering.

E63 front end for sure. The rear is where the W211 looks dated-something from the 80s.
This is an area that needs serious attention from members, even a diffuser does not take away from the old fart back end of the car.

I don't get why people think the W211 has an "old fart" look from the back. My GF said that my Pewter W211 (with AMG body Package) looked "old man-ish" from the back, and that's even with adolescent tinted tails on it (although, she said maybe the color had something to do with it). I think the rear of the car is just super classy and elegant, with just enough sporty tones.

I personally love the rear end on the W211 AMG. When it is lowered with fat rear tires it just looks menacing! That is my opinion though
