Sorry if this is a newbie question but I want to change my front bumper on my E55 to the E63. So my questions are

1. What do I need to do the complete conversion ect?

2. Where is best to go to get the parts?

Any help is apriciated

1. Depends if you want to use OEM parts or aftermarket replica.

A genuine, used W211 E63 bumper is rare. Radiator grille, facelift brackets, impact absorbers, grille, fogs, undertray, number plate plynth and other bits and pieces will run £600-700 on top of the bumper & paint. There's a list of parts on this site and MBWorld, just search.

2. I used ebay for the bumper and main dealer for everything else.

Ok mate thank you

Are the eBay kits any good?

No experience with ebay kits but lots of owners in America use aftermarket made kit sold by Suvneer. Maybe get in touch with them and see if they are willing to ship to the UK?
