Mercedes W212 E-Class to E63 AMG Style Conversion Guide: Pre-Facelift vs LCI

The Mercedes-Benz W212 E-Class (2010–2016) is a favorite for an E63 AMG style conversion. But the biggest mistake buyers make is ordering a bumper or lip for the wrong version of the car. Pre-facelift (2010–2013) and LCI facelift (2014–2016) parts are made for different front and rear ends and are not interchangeable. This guide shows exactly which parts to buy for each version.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make a regular W212 E350 or E550 look like an E63 AMG?

Yes. The usual path is an E63 AMG style front bumper, a carbon fiber front lip, a rear diffuser and AMG-style trunk spoiler. Pick the pre-facelift or LCI version of each part to match your car.

What are the W212 pre-facelift and LCI model years?

On our fitment notes, pre-facelift covers 2010–2013 and the LCI (facelift) covers 2014–2016. Bumpers and lips for the two are not interchangeable, so check the product title.

How do I tell a pre-facelift W212 from an LCI?

Compare the headlights and bumper shape. The LCI has a revised front and rear end. If you are unsure, send us a photo along with your year, model and trim.

Do E63 AMG lips and diffusers fit E350 or E550 models?

E63 AMG lips and diffusers are meant for the E63 unless the title says otherwise. For E350 and E550 bumpers, look for the E350 / E550 version of the front lip.

What is the difference between the E63 and E63 S rear diffuser?

We list a separate diffuser for the E63 and the E63 S. Choose the one listed for your model, and check the product title if you are unsure.

Is the carbon fiber real?

Our W212 front lips, diffusers, side skirts and spoilers are listed as real carbon fiber. Each product page states the material for that part.
