I'm planning a trip to the UK, (Cambridge area). Is there a marque specialist I could maybe buy Euro bumpers, etc for my Gen I 126 or maybe even my TD? Anything to know for those that have done the euro bumper conversion? My concern is the rear where the diesel tailpipes may not fit in the cutout for the gas models. Thanks in advance

You could email this guy at threepointedparts @hotmail.co.uk His name is Rob he may be able to help you with the parts needed . Specelist in merc cars..Tell him Trevor told you .

Thanks, email sent.

I've got an extra W126 Euro front bumper 2nd gen with brackets minus the chrome trim. Let me know if you might be interested.

Trevor,
Your man reports back that 126 and 123 parts are becoming very short in supply in the UK and that he doesn't have them right now.

Resto it was worth a try . I will see what i can find Tuesday to help you..Trev

Pop over the water to Holland and I know a few places where you can probably get what you want.
