W208 Carlsson RS Replica Bumper For Sale
I purchased this front bumper from Dronnelis a couple months ago & I painted and installed it myself,it has a few minor stress cracks from install but no damage, easily fixed at any reputable body shop.I have decided to sell it since my car is lowered and its a pain in the @** to drive it 2 my work with multiple inclines the bumper would scrape so I would have 2 use alternate parking, it fits very well and looked sick on the car it has no Euro license plate on it,in my opinion it looks much better that way.I will post pics soon,email me with serious offers.I never ended up getting foglights, but you may get them from dronnelis for approximately $70,also the bumper is painted silver.

I did all the work myself and painted it with PPG B/C.I did approximately 2 hrs of prepping little flaws here and there but nothing serious whatsoever.I didn't have 2 many issues with fitment it aligned with bumpers quite well with minor adjustments of the 4 bolts attaching the front of bumper that are adjustable on the W208.I installed it and after a week or so noticed some,approximately 2 small stress cracks near corner of bumper.I test fitted before painting it of course by bolting it on 2 make sure it fit well & it did but once it was painted the stress from where the fenders & bumper meet caused it 2 crack,so it had already had them I believe but I didn't see them before painting but its very easy to fix,bumper is just too low for the amount of driving I do.
Cost $140 paint & approximately $60 for materials,so $200-$220.I got an estimate from a shop $740.
Im in AZ.

great work on the bumper Brian, during the painting process, was the finish on the bumper good enough to just prime and paint, or did it need to be sanded down a little more?
wannna paint mine? or have a buddy in LA that can do mine for a great price?
