w211 e63 amg bumper questions

[cocomillion]

Hello,
Im new to the Mercedes forum first time possting. I recently bought a w211 preface lift.
I been reading about the e63 amg bumper conversion from various forums.
I have some question I was hoping someone here can help with.
I seen the below on ebay, I wanted to know will this fit straight on? Or will it need some modification/ additional parts.
I read somewhere It requires “bumper Irons” (what are these?)

can I cannibalise any bits it needs from my current bumper?
Has anyone had any experience with this seller? Or these kits?

any info greatly appriciated

The bumper isn't a straight fit. I think you need the grill and some extra fixings.
Did you notice that kit in the link is for post face lift?

Welcome to the forum

thanks for the info, what do you mean by its not a stright fit? ie do you mean the bumper it self or the grill that you mentioned? i was aware i would require a face lift grill. but not sure if i would need anything eles ie fittings etc

Have a look at Post#3. That's the list of parts with Part numbers that you'll need.

So the list is quit extensive. Will I necessarily need all parts? I mean items I highlighted in blue could I use my existing ones? Items in orange looks like there included in the ebay item/ can I use my existing ones?
Thanks for the advice.
Apologies if some of what im saying/ asking sounds repetitive.

Headlight washers are the little pods that pop out and squirt liquid at the lights to clean them.

Distronic is a small black shiny unit that sits behind the grille - it's active cruise control rather than the usual passive which maintains a speed.

Not sure on the rest.

hi,

yes you would need all the parts, all the bracing, supports, impact foams etc is needed, the mesh, fogs.

bonnet latch is longer on the facelift grill, grill needs to change , undertray (plastic under the engine is different.

also the parking sensor brackets need to change.
