Hey everyone...


For those of you painting the impact strips yourselves...

Where did you get the color match paint?

Special place or your local hardware store?

Also- Did you guys paint a clear poly over?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

-Thanks
Charles

 

Charles,

I got my paint at www.paintscratch.com I have used them for a few cars now with excellent results. I used their paint pen to touch up some chips on my C230 and it matched perfectly. I was going to use them to paint my impact strips, but since my car is going into the body shop for repair this week, I am going to have them paint them. Yes, use their clear coat as well.

 

say what

 

can anyone post a link for resistors?
i dont really want my lights hanging and wrapped in foil haha

 

So I read this entire thread (kinda) and dont think i saw the answer to my question...

Are the impact strips compatible for C55's? If im correct, C55 has a CLK bumper right?

 

You require to order impact strips for the C55 specifically. It has a wider nose & they are longer than the standard sedan. They might be the same as the CLK as the nose of the C55 is modelled on the CLK. I would order them specifically for the C55. Remember they are available with & without Parktronic sensors.

 

hey guys.. Anywhere else other than Gary@sunveer (he no longer has) or EVOsport (out of stock) for the euro impact strips for w203. I had them B4 (from gary) but sum idiot backed into my car two weeks ago and cracked one. please any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the link.

 

in the picture these appear to be black, is it just black plastic or is it black paint?

 

It's just the black plastic.

 

that's what I figured. thanks.

 

Please also note that later models do not have removeable impact strips. The front & rear bumpers are one peice moldings.

 

mine came light gray .ready to paint. chrome strips not attached.

 

So, after countless times of searching on google and ebay. I figure I just suck at searching...lol

I have a set of euro impact strips my buddy gave me and I can't find the euro chrome strips anywhere. Some help would be appreciated!

 

See if Gary @ suvneer on here has some extra. He sells the replica ones.

 

I went to him a week or two ago. He doesn't carry them anymore

 

only place would be the out of country mb place like http://www.mbenznl.nl/
