300C New front design

Just got my new 300C today and find it look different. May be the grille from first look but not sure. After I see the pictures of other 300C did I spot the difference. There is a big opening under the front licence plate of mine. Even the one I test drive does not have it, nor any photo of 300C I see so far. Is it a new model year design? I am in Australia so it is right hand drive and made in Austria. I am surprise to see it but like it nonetheless.

You have gotten the 07 front fascia that Chrysler is replacing with the original 05/06 design. The lower chin spoiler used to be a separate piece from the fascia. Now the new fascia you have the lower spoiler and fascia are all one piece now. But Chrysler felt they needed more holes in the front of the fascia.

Here is the new replacement Fascia.


This is the original 05/06 front fascia

I like that. Would it be an easy swap to just swap the bumper from an 06 to an 07?

Since you have a 300C. Yes. It would be a direct replacement.

Hey Hemmissey. You already know how I feel about the new 300 fascia.


LOL. I found an 05/06 fascia from another member. So at least I have a back up original fascia just in case.
