[W126 Coupe] gauging interest in group buy/ship for W126 parts from Europe - ie euro parts

[Clayton Johnson]

Hello Markus and SEC Group,



I’d be interested in obtaining Euro parts as well.  Haven’t had any luck finding what I need in my area.
What I’d like to get is a set (possibly  two pairs) of chrome 3 piece  European bumpers for a W123 chassis.
Typical model applications range from 280 E  and CE and 230CE – years 1978 thru 1982, maybe thru 1985 -
--- I need to confirm those dates and models.  A small benefit in shipping those bumpers, is the fact that
they can be disassembled, reducing their overall length.  I have attached photos of the design I’m looking for.
I may want additional parts as well if available.
Please keep me informed of how you progress.

Thanks,
Clayton Johnson

Good point Jay, wonder if that's true?  I know its true for the headers, different LHD vs. RHD.

 

I haven't decided for sure on the UK.  I will try Germany as well.

 

Right now I'm gauging interest to see what makes more sense to do.

Markus, 

 

I'm interested in a few parts for my '90 W124 300CE. Mainly euro lights, and any AMG components. But I've heard that British headlights are different than the regular euros in the beam spread because they drive on the wrong side of the road.

I'm trying to gauge real interest in a possible "group buy", or really, "group ship" of euro parts for our 126's. I personally am looking for a euro gen2 rear bumper to replace one that was just damaged thanks to a distracted driver who caused a 4 car <http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w126-s-se-sec-sel-sd/1426504-gauging-group-buy-interest-euro-parts.html>  pileup, and I know a few others looking for parts. I have found breakers in the UK with plenty of bumpers for example, around $150-450 USD before shipping (depending on condition, the breaker, etc). They all seem to not be interested in individual shipping, even when I offered to pay whatever it was, to compare to the cost of buying what I need new. Anyhow, then I figured if enough people were willing to actually buy stuff, we might have enough to do a container and split the cost and make it more affordable.

So...who is really interested? I know they have euro lights, bumpers, wheels, etc at a minimum, possibly more.
