Looking for C55 AMG front bumper

Anyone have tips where to get them? Quoted $1200 by a shop, but I know there's gotta be a cheaper way to source one.

Don't waste money then, keep the front as is. Your new buyer won't give you the difference

I know, but I will not sell a car with a bumper in the state mine is in. I don't plan on making money on the new bumper, or even breaking even, but I would still like to find a more reasonable cost for a bumper than $1200.

It's not easy trust me. I have worked for MB forever and I still couldn't find a cheap one. I finally just paid for it when it was almost falling apart. How bad is it do you have pics? I had mine recond and it fell apart again in a year. If you don't care about after-market I think extreme dimensions sells a bunch of low quality Chinese bumpers, but I never tried them. I actually met one of their employees who told me they are cheaply made. When you say 1200 does that include paint? Where are you located?

I remember seeing this guy get a Sarona bumber on his C55. Not sure how well its lasted, maybe get a hold of him? Priced at $650.

My one on the car is falling apart as well. I have a replacement, but apparently (just took it into the shop), the replacement has a crack that may or may not be fixable. If it is not, I will have to find another replacement bumper..
