hey guys,

do you know if you can remove the parts below w/o taking apart the door panels and rear bumper? i want to get rid of a scratch on the piece below the window and the rear bumper impact strip...
i have a c55 and i want to take it off my c230 and put it on the c55...


thanks in advance!

When did you get the C55? Congratulations on your new acquisition.

Supposedly, the rear impact strip can be removed with your hands and a soft wedge tool. I believe you have to take off the rear side impact strips (on the side of the rear bumper) first. Start removing the impact strip from the rear wheel fender area.

Don't quote me on this, I'm not 100% sure of the order, confirm it with your service manager. Please don't follow through with my suggestion until you are sure of what you are doing.

Good luck.

congrats on the C55!

when I took the stips off my bumper on my old W202 I had to remove the bumper and there were snap like pins you had to compress to release the strip, was a huge PITA to remove.

When my friend got into an accident in his W203, the strips just kinda popped off.

So I think what patrick said will work.

Oh, congrats on the C55! See you in the AMG forums.

@mj50, thanks buddy, it was a long and stressfull process but it's almost done, i just need to sell the 230 now. pics will have to wait till i wax and clean. second hand c55 and no mods i have to start from scratch. euro teck lip is first tho =)
