Pre Facelift w168 to Facelift

[rophees]

Does anyone know if it is possible to change a pre facelift dash to a w168 facelift version. Mine is SWB if that makes a difference. Thanks

Anything is possible.

It'd be a big job though , why do you want to do this ? just for aesthetics ?

Yeah just for aesthetics. Thought it would be big job. Might ponder on doing something else, not sure what yet though lol. Thanks for the input!

No worries.

Why don't you kit up the outside if you want to have a bit of a mod , much easier , and has a bigger impact .

Get the AMG kit for example and wheels ?

Or the Brabus one ( bit rarer and harder to find ) ...

Yeah was looking into brabus, but very, very hard to find anything. Just started looking into AMG before you posted and even that is rare lol. Joys if having an old car (family one as well)

The bumpers and skirts turn up on eBay from time to time , as do the wheels .

The brabus stuff is far harder to find , I bought a brabus w168 with a dead engine from up north and a pal helped me bring it back and strip it.

Got the front and rear bumpers and wheels , had them painted , wheels refurbed , got the SWB AMG skirts from ebay as brabus didn't do skirts. Got a w168 brabus exhaust from a member on here. Spots for the brabus bumper were a pig to find as they are a funny size but got some from china in the end.

Gather the bits slowly and store them till ready.

Nice. Thanks for the tips. Was hoping to find a brabus chip (wrong section, I know) eBay?

No brabus chips for a classes , and none for non diesels generally.
