Front AMG bumper conversion...

First of all, mine is base 06 E350.

After being skeptical of the price of a new bumper and it holding me back from doing the conversion, I made a deal with someone, he needs a base bumper, gonna sell him mine and I'll go for AMG bumper. I've come across this eBay listing of an E63 front bumper with fog lamps and mesh grill (which seems to be plastic but will change it later). The material is PP, which I hear is pretty good. Here's the link:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/E63-AMG-Style-Front-Bumper-Without-PDC-For-Mercedes-Benz-2007-09-E-Class-W211/253017257707?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid =p2055119.m1438.l2649


Or, a bit more expensive Suvneer bumper:

What do you guys think?
And are the molding parts the same or do I need to purchase some or do something else? (i hope not)
Found a chrome grill for $85 and only other thing I need is paint, Brilliant Silver. A friend of mine will do the paint job for me, saves $3-400.


This is my only chance for the conversion I've been hoping for lol because I don't want to shell out almost 1k for it. I'm charging the other guy the for the bumper and the paint job, he's all in as well. Oh, and, I'm not looking into side skirts and rear bumper, just the front. This will be my last "project" on this E350.

I need input in this process and make it go smoothly with you ppl with experience. I'm ready to make purchases.

Thanks in advance.

I believe you need more than just the bumper, grill and lamps. I remember someone posted a parts list of what was required in a thread on this.

I'd rather get it from Gary since he's sold a ton to people on here and the quality is good. I bought my lip from him and his service is top notch.

Agree, and Gary is Gary Suvneer if you didn’t know.

Thanks guys. Yea I looked at the Suvneer website and it lists the components required for the conversion. I think the list consists of about 4-5 different parts. I'll get in touch with Garry asap. I've seen him around somewhere.

But I also have one question, since the material and everything else is the same on the Suvneer bumper and the eBay listing I posted, what could be the difference between the two? They're both made of same material, PP, and include same parts as mesh grille and fog lamps. I'm just curious about the price difference, about $75, which isn't a lot but still a little curious. I would still need the additional parts regardless of which seller I get the bumper from.

Thoughts?

Thanks for the info.

Yes, I'm in contact with Gary atm. We have a deal and i will most likely make an order next week and the last thing I need is some paint. Still looking where to get it from. Dealers are going to be overpriced.
