[W126 Coupe] bumpers

[Markus Meyer]

Well, you can try and find gen2 euro bumpers (good luck, hard to find, and even if you do, quite expensive - there's a set on ebay right now for over $800 plus shipping and they need work), or you can go with gen1 euro bumpers, or get AMG, Lorinser, etc like I have on mine.  In general, these are getting harder and harder to find, especially with non-rusted or dinged chrome.

Markus,


No not necisarrily "Period Correct"  The car is not going to be stock in look or anything.  The interior will be from my 91 and customized passed that so, more of what I want in an 85 SEC not really what the engineers may have thought of!

David,
 
I assume you want to stay "period correct" and get gen1 euro bumpers, since your 500 is a gen1 model?  If so, I have a set of Lorinser euro bumpers that are available.  For standard euro gen1 bumpers, you can check ebay, benzworld or peachparts classifieds, they pop up there from time to time.

Gang,

I have been off the list for a while, but still monitoring until I got unsubscribed! I am starting to get my 85 500SEC project going again. It has sat in my garage for the past 3 years with the interior out of it and the interior of my crashed 91 560SEC in the basement! 

Does anybody know a good place to get a a decent pair of Euro Bumpers? They don't have to be in perfect condition, just no cracks or breaks. Also what should I expect to pay for a pair? Of bumpers that is.

Thanks,

David
