Front bumpers are available new aftermarket really reasonably, I'd probably just get a new one, I've bought two around $95/ea from LKQ's replacement parts arm.

Calipers
How did the wiring harness install go?
Do you think your calipers are original? Nothing like the 4 pot calipers to realize what a great brake system feels like compared to the ones on other Benzes that I drive.

I haven't tackled the harness yet. Ill work on it this weekend. I see the calipers were replaced in 2002 by the dealer. I don't think they are dragging at all now but its still something to keep an eye on. I do also know I need to replace the soft rubber brake lines. They are showing some signs of age.

Installed the harness last night. It took all of 45 minutes and the car runs like a top now. It is one of the easier jobs I have done on these cars.

Yesterday I decided to fiddle around with the A/C with the help of my neighbor who is a HVAC tech. We checked the freon level and it was just a little low so we added about 3/4 of a 12oz can and I now have ICE COLD A/C. We will see how long this holds up but I'm crossing my fingers I will have working air all summer. Black leather seats look nice but they sure are HOT.
