OEM bumper--what kind of material?? - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

I was wondering what kind of material m-Benz use for the front and rear bumper.. I bet they use something cheaper than the body frame material.. If you hit something against your bumper, you can't fix it, right?

Are you talking about the black impact strip? If so, they are made of plastic and cost like $150

hi ss109:
I wasn't talking about the black impact strip. I was just wondering what Benz OEM bumpers are made of. I know they are not made of carbon fiber.... I doubt it is a metal......I hope i made this clear.. Thanks for your input.. Bye

I believe it's some kind of high impact ABS "plastic"..
