[W126 Coupe] Free at last

[Axel Wulff]

Rich,

A modification job like that would be better left to the professionals.

I did a mix and match on my car.

I have a 1990 SEC and had the standard North American bumpers which I can't 
stand.

After looking for a long time for a set of Series 2 Euro bumpers, and the 
correct AMG bits for them, I finally gave up.

I bought a NOS AMG front spoiler from RennTech. The only problem was that it 
was for an SE/L. :-(

No worries, I buy a Series 1 SEC Euro bumper on eBay. Won't work.

Then I buy a front and rear Series 1 Euro bumper from an SE/L and hand them 
over to my body shop.

He took the AMG spoiler and fitted it to the SE/L bumper skin. Then he took 
the mounting brackets and chrome parts from the SEC bumper and fitted the 
parts to the SE/L.

Presto, with a few panels of stainless steel mesh applied strategically, and 
I have Euro front and rear bumpers with AMG bits. :-)
