What do your original paint colours read? Mercedes had some great looking paint from factory with shaded cladding.
The first impression I see with 2 colours is an added depth of wow.

Hm I think Id have to have it painted to whatever scheme the rear bumper is painted..other wise id have a mismatch or would have to pay to have the rear bumper painted to match.

The only 190's I've seen with monotone bumpers are the 16 valves. But the bumper style is different and looks more appropriate.

All the other 190's have the bumper matching the cladding and the impact strip black.

maybe that was said already anyway have you considered painting the car yourself.

This was my first thought however there is no clearance for getting a bolt back in once the existing one is drilled out.

Painting it myself?
