W212 E63 Facelift Conversion Question
Guys,
I wrecked my E63 with front collison due to the black ice on the road about a month ago, and considering to do the facelift conversion.
I did some research, and there are two vendors sell the entire facelift conversion kit.
1. SGA Exclusive: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.470796056341260.1073741831.188709821216553& type=3
Located in Germany
Price: EUR 12,800
2. Mercteil: http://www.mercteil.com/en/products/amg-e63-body-kit-w212-facelift-2013
Located in Estonia
Price: EUR 9,699
Both of the above Kits are of Genuine MB parts, and it's a simple plug and play. (They say so.)
Have anyone had any experience with either of above? I tried to do some background check for these guys, but there aren't many things pop up.
Also, are there any US vendors that sell the Conversion kit as well? I'd like to explore more options before I proceed.

Sorry to interrupt you mate, but we never claimed it is simply plug and play. All body parts (if you have the correct ones) are plug and play, yes. The electrical system is difficult. It has to be done by a proper electrician. Also the electrician should have experience with MB vehicles and with MB Star C4.

You are right. Perhaps I should have been more clear. I stand corrected.

Honestly, I can't tell the difference between pre-facelift and facelift with interior pictures, since I didn't really pay attention.

The blend of facelift + fender flares is really interesting. I think they should have kept the flares with the 2014! Loks more agressive/more present stance from rear 3/4 view.

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
I am not sure about the bracket, fastener, etc. I have no experience with the conversion. I based my opinion solely on frontal appearance. Look at the edge of the hood and the shape of it where it meets the headlights and the grill, and you will see the shape is really different. Thus I don't see how a conversion can be done without a new hood.

Tail lamps
Any idea if the facelifted tail lights are simply bolt on or if anything else needs to be changed (ie. Fenders or bumper)? Looks pretty similar in shape but not sure about the exact dimensions.
