WANTED front bumper for 280te
 

it's the thin euro type. with or without rubber

I recently saw a pair of Euros on ebay for a W123.

They're the same as the sedan bumpers right? I have a set of sedan bumpers I'm selling: http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/mercedes-benz-used-parts-sale-wanted/210099-used-pair-euro-sedan-bumpers-sale.html

I have a front W123 Euro bumper with the rubber end pieces and metal attaching brackets. PM or email me if interested. I can send pics........

Saw a Euro coupe / sedan rear bumper and Euro rubber buffers on www.Germanimportedparts.com last week....

Gary, here's a few pics of the bumper. I couldn't really find a good way to photo it. It looks much better in person. Polished it up with some Mother's Mag and it is in nice shape. I hope you can see the little indention at the license plate area. For some reason it looks bigger in the pics. :confused:
BTW, if the bumper shocks were for your TE, this Euro bumper doesn't attach to those I don't believe. Others may give better info....

This bumper was a nightmare to try and package. It looks horrible but is surprisingly secure. :o

I shipped a bumper recently by simply wrapping the bumper with the large sticky clear stuff and removing the shocks and shipping them separately in a box. The bumper shipped not insured. It cost about $40 to ship them that way. Wrapping it all in a box was going to cost 150 including the box at the ups store.

From Indiana to Florida, IIRC.

Open a Fedex account...and have it bill to an Amex if you have one. Amex lops off 5% of the bill when it hits the card. You'll be pleasantly surprised if you go to a Fedex Kinkos...trust me. ;)

Euro bumpers have tabs/bars on both ends. An American bumper doesn't have that to worry about, and the manner you used would work better like that, but I felt like those end pieces needed to be protected. I did use two full rolls of packing tape though.

The bumper is on the way.......:)

Bumper going from Texas to Cali. Shipping with tracking was $25.17!! Not bad USPS.......;)
Sure was one ugly box, though. :o

I have a Euro 230te with euro bumpers...thought I would jump on the thread to ask about 02 Lambda senors for grey market conversion. I am in need of a set up to get through a CA emissions inspection....thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I have a set of sedan euro front and rear with some of the rubbers.

Looking to trade + cash for EURO COUPE BUMPERS. Email me.

Jimmy, Thanks for the bumper, it is way better than I expected. Fast shipping, great packaging, I'm really happy with the whole thing!!
