07 MGM front bumper

[Bun-Bun]

Thought I would check here and see if anyone here knew the answer to my question.

I have a 07 MGM going in for front bumper replacement and I was wondering if the front bumper cover off a marauder would fit. I've read that the crownvic and marauders are bolt location identical but the grills are different. I think the grills on the 07 MGM are the same as the marauder but the headlight mount and headlights are different.

Looking at it just not the cut out would need to be wider around the grille where the headlight mount is different. Could I replace the headlight mount as well with the marauder one? So headlight mount, grille, bumper cover, fog lights. Or am I insane?

Also like the blacked out corner lamps on the marauder (and mine are yellowing for some reason). Would those fit?

Why would you want to put a Marauder bumper cover on it when your bumper cover has fog lights cut outs ?The grille and headlights are not interchangeable...the side markers maybe. I'm sure there will be plenty more responses.

I believe the header panel is different on 2006 and up MGM, not sure exactly what year ..so grille and headlights will be different. why not put and MGM front end on that came with the MGM fog lights...Not sure what year that started

That started in '06. header panel, grille, headlights and bumper were all different. I've seen some very good looking GMs with the new setup.

Don't do it. They aren't made anymore and Marauder guys need them to keep their cars OEM in accidents.

I would be buying aftermarket parts. So no worry about me taking from the OEM pool.

Speaking on that, this is where I was thinking of ordering the cover http://www.carid.com/2004-mercury-marauder-bumpers/replace-front-bumper-cover-9962199.html

I can't find anything on that "replace" brand. Is it any good?

I already have the new style MGM that has the foglights. Everything needs to get replaced after the accident though (fog lights, bumper cover, bumper assembly). And I am doing a projector HID conversion so figured the round marauder fog lights would look better.

you'll need to change header panels too..new style no workie with older style

Anyone ever order from www.carid.com?

They have the header, bumper cover, and headlights.

And I found 2005 grand marquis grills on ebay.

Am I crazy in thinking this would all work? I can't find much in reviews for that carid.com site or that Replace (otherwise known as Replacement) brand of parts.
