I am considering an aftermarket bumper cover for my 94 E320. (124 body style) Does anyone have any experience with bumper parts supplied by Car Parts Wholesale? Are there others I should consider, or should I pay the $600 plus for an OEM?

This won't be much help but being in the autobody business I have never worked with an aftermarket Mercedes part. So don't know how they fit and last, but Mercedes parts per se, are usually priced very reasonably, compared to parts made for American cars. For instance, a door shell for a big Olds, Chevy or Buick will be in the neighborhod of $1100,,,, the same door for a Benz will be in the $400 to $600 range.

oem ones cost about $180 from my work. Have a body shop buy it from my work.

Although the aftermarket brand bumper from EZ looks and feels of good quality but then again i wont know how it will look or fit on the car so your best bet it to go with an OEM bumper and youll only save about $20 if you go with the EZ branded one.

I purchase my front bumper cover from them. It was shipped to me already prime ready for paint. I purchase the bumper from them off ebay. I paid less then $200.00 including shipping. That was about 2 years ago. I had to drill holes into the top part of the cover where the chrome trim goes. Other then that the bumper was okay.
