ML63 bumpers onto a ML 350

[Abb]

Am toying with the idea of changing the front & rear bumpers of my ML 350 to the ones fitted to the 63, as I prefer them. With cost aside, is it a straight forward swap over or some complicated issues I have to take into consideration? Something tells me, it's not going to be straight forward because A) I am involved and B) it's a Mercedes!
It's a W166 2012 ML I have.
Thank you.

I've looked at a fair few different motors to either upgrade to AMG styling or 'facelift' and the main thing I learned is that it's all the little parts that really add up; I used to just look at the bumper price and grille when it's only part of the story.

Your best bet is to do your best to find a donor at a scrappers.

The ML63 has flared wheel arches to support the wider wheels - so you need to work out whether the ML63 bumpers and the AMG body pack bumpers are different

Theres a lot of plastic support stuff that differs (certainly on front bumper), and cars with headlamp washers and parktronic bumpers have extra holes for obvious reasons.

If you want to pop into lightwater and look at my ML63, you are welcome.
