E53 to E63 s front conversion w213
Hello all!
i have a question regarding if it is possible to fit the E63 s w213 bumper, grille and front wings to the E53 w213. Has anyone does this? Are the fittings the same or did it take a lot of work?
really appreciate the help in advance!
cheers!

I don't know how much work it would be but with enough money, I'm sure it's possible to swap front ends. The practicality is a whole different story though. You would need to replace the entire front end. Hood, both front fenders, headlights, bumper, grill inserts and all the other misc bits and trim. Then, any modifications required to fit everything. I'm not going to price everything out but I suspect you would be much better off selling your E53 and just buying a E63S. It would probably be cheaper this route and you would have a real E63S and all the performance that goes with it.

Thanks for the reply, well the car has already dropped in price by $24 and I’ve only driven 2000km’s so would be a shame to sell it. Happy with it overall it’s just the front end which I’d replace. The bonnet shape and headlights seem to be the same, but I may be wrong.

Couple pics for comparison...
