w126 euro spec bumpers

I just came across a set of w126 euro bumpers. What are these things worth?

Thanks
-Joey

I've let the last two sets I found go to the crusher. Watching this forum and the last time that question was asked, seems like $100 for really nice ones.

If I saw a set I would picj them up as I plan to do a SEC diesel 5spd someday, but they dont seem to be worth the time to pull and sell

Are all 126 Euro bumpers the same? Would those from an SDL or an SEL fit the SEC?

I would never want them....they offer 0 protection to the car....something needed very much with the road-idiots around here. I like my huge heavy shock-equipped bumpers! So far I have had an Infiniti sedan destroy their hood/bumper/headlights/grille on my rear bumper, and a GMC envoy destroyed his lower shield/bumper when he slid into me as well. No damage to my car either time. Just a "Ha-Ha" at the person who hit me.

I prefer the US bumpers. They don't look like an after thought like they do on the W116, and they offer tank like protection from dummies on cell phones.

I'm looking for a Gen I W126 rear Euro Bumper and fascia with mounts for my 84 Euro 500 SEC that kept her front bumper, euro lights and Euro tail lights when federalized but they changed the rear bumper to the US one.
BAHHHHH HUMBUG.

Euro Bumpers are fine here was long as you install the Reactive Armor. That way when it fires it helps stop the guy that rear ended you and pushes you from harms way.....LOL!

I only want them because I'd like to eventually put an AMG body kit (or a knock-off one) on my SEC. Those won't fit on the US bumpers.

You'll only need the bumper bars from them if youre getting the knock off kit. The real deal will require the correct bumpers, depending on what kit you plan to mount.
