I thought I would tell you all this story and introduce myself at the same time, this looks like a great forum and I hope I can share some knowledge when I can with you folks.

I bought a '90 420SEL last year for $2500. Everything works and the a/c was still R12, since I really wanted a '90 or '91, I bought it even though the clearcoat on the roof was ruined by someone who got too excited with a buffer. The interior is mint, except for small bugger on the drivers seat bolster. I bought a gallon of laquer, and I'm going to paint the roof in the fall once the weather cools off some.

It shows 150k miles and the only mechanical problems I have had are a leaking EHA, caster joints, and fan clutch. Easily fixed by me at home, so I just had to pay for the parts. The only issue right now is some light oil smoking on cold start if it sits for a few weeks at a time.

This last week, I remembered about the local U Pull it place, since the trunk light switch went sour on me. I hadn't been there in about 20 years, though it hadn't changed much. $1.25 was the price of entry into this garden of Eden.

At first, I didn't see any Mercedes. After wandering around for about an hour, I found a '83 euro 500SEL way in the back. I paid $3.00 for the trunk light switch, sadly the euro headlights and such were long gone.

Here is my question. I can buy the bumpers for around $60.00/pair, will they fit my '90 W126? I know they don't offer the protection, but they sure look nice and they are mint.

Best regards, Louie.
