Will Euro 500SEC Ft bumper fit 86-91 W126 Sedan?

Hello Anyone know if a Euro SEC front bumper will fit a US 86-91 S class sedan?
Thanks

Well at this point it does not look like it will work.
See the pictures in the link below.

It will mount the bumper too far out and the bumper wheel well edges will not align with the fenders. Also the angle of the bumper support and the angle of the bumper mounts on the body are not in line.

Anyone know how to mount this Euro SEC bumper to an 86-91 W126 US Sedan?
Thanks

I'm not sure about the bumper, but I have a whole coupe front on one of my 560SEL's. You might have to fabricate parts to make it fit.

Does your 560SEL have a US or Euro SEC bumper?

Yep you have a US bumper.


I know tons of people have installed a Euro bumper on a US car? Anyone out there know how to do it?
