W210 Pre facelift panel swap - Pinchers - 04-19-2013
Does anyone know if the front wings and bumper from a facelift W210 can be fitted to a pre facelift chassis.
Brackets etc all line up

Wow, I just looked at an early W210 and man oh man do they look like crap. I think the US only got the facelift models. But if they are anything like the W124 you should be able to swap out panels.

Can be done but it is a bit of work..
hood, grille, headlamps and of course mirrors are also needed.
front crossbar/beam/member or what its called is different, at least you need it if you plan to have headlamp washers.
the inner front fenders/wings are different ( part of the chassie where the fenders are bolted is lower on facelift)
I adapted facelift fenders to fit the older chassie when I did it on my w210,
