W209W

Lost it somewhere, and need a name or part number to buy a new one



A small separator that goes between bumper?

I am not sure I understand what you are looking for. I don't see anything missing in your photo. Can you circle the part you want to find?

i think the OP has lost that middle body part and posting an older pic.

BTW, if you dont mind, show a pic with it off!lol I always kind of thought the car would look better without it

W209W

You are right!

I will get you a proper one later today, here is one after the "accident"

Mine was damaged too a month ago when someone backed into me. The body shop person took care of it and replaced it so it's definitely a separate part you can buy however maybe not new but from a junkyard/used car lot.

Sorry I have no part number.

P.S. Make sure the temperature sensor gets reattached correctly. Mine was not and it cause erroneous readings.

Correct if I am wrong but if believe it's called front bumper center cover w/o AMG. You can buy it for around $200 new from Mercedes OEM part websites like parts.com

the part number is 20988500221693

Thank you!!!!!

TheNoble

My pleasure =D!

Anyone if this part something that can be purchased? Can't find it anywhere....

Rudeney

Are you talking about the "protective strip" that covers that area of the bumper? I have searched EPC and cannot find them as separate parts for the W209. Ironically, I can find then for the W203, W211 and others. I know they are specific to the W209, but they are similar enough to the other models that one would think they would also be available for the W209.

TheNoble

Ya there usually some sort of plastic there that the chrome strips then snap into and the bumper plug. That's odd, I can't purchase the bumper if I can't get those parts elsewhere.... oh well they were asking too much anyway

Well, I would call it an "Unterergrilltrennleiste" or something like that because it needs to be a ridiculously long word...

I think I know why I can't find a part number for those bumper "rub strips". I removed the bumper on my CLK today (I'm having a local body shop repaint it as it's all chipped from rock when I worked in an industrial area). Anyhow, I was removing all the trim and I discovered that these rub strips, at least on my AMG Sport bumper, are just molded into the bumper itself and not a removable part as on the W203.

TheNoble

That's exactly what I thought! I was looking and my bumper and trying to see if they were removable. I just don't see why or how the seller would sell it bumper like this if you can't attach the impact strips- what the sellers on Ebay are calling them.

That photo is not of a W209 bumper. It looks like one from a W211 E-Class.
