this stuff actually helps out big time with the armrest. I think it's better preventative stuff for the armrest.

Thomas,
sent you a PM regarding the front AMG bumper and reinforcement.
Looking for one as well for ZQ's W203.

Drex, you may know this, which ones work / don't work for a 2004.5 SS ???

I'm hearing/reading tons of stuff about some bumpers/reinforcements not working on certain model years. Where can I just get a C32 bumper & reinforcement, to go with C32 fogs & meshes ?

Ooh, stumped me on this one, Carlos. See, I know MJ has the luxury 240. Since Zulma has the 2004.5 like me, I'm wondering if we use the same reinforcement as the 2005-2007 owners.

MJ should be able to find out though.

When I put the AMG front bumper on my old sedan, we went through 3 different reinforcements (including my stock one) before finding one that worked. When I talked to Frank at SB Auto Group, he mentioned that there were a bunch of different part #'s listed as bumper reinforcements for the C32, so we just started with the first one and worked our way down the list.

aaagghhh... what a head-ache. I don't want to go through 3 reinforcements.

Blake, you wouldn't happen to have the Part #'s of the reinforcements, and which ones go with which bumper do ya ? huh do ya ??
PLEASE !!!!!

Thomas,
My wife's 2004.5 SS has the rear AMG bumper, we still need the front one, since the C32 front bumper that Robert sent from Boston was broken

I guess I need the correct reinforcement and the insert foam to go with the correct AMG bumper (C32 or 2005+), and then figure out which fog lights, and meshes to get too.

Any help Drex on this would be appreciated. I'm leaving the USA for a quite a few months, so I need someone to help ZQ out a bit. Thanks !

Carlos, I think that Blake would have the same re-inforcement. Even though he had a 2004 SS prior to the few updates my car received, the our front bumpers were the same until he got the AMG (and prior to the Expression). So, if he doesn't know. MJ would have the most knowledge about it right now, since he just recently did his bumper.

Saprissa,

You should get the VIN off of rlee's car and email that vin for the part number to everyone's favorite florida parts vendor. (sfoster@duvalmotorcars.com)

He'll make sure you get the right reinforcement for the bumper that the car came off of.

Goodness, could those cars be any cleaner? There something about dark cars that when they are clean, they really shine. Looks great!
