Well it finally f@#king came today. my replacement AMG gen 1 bumper cover arrived and it cost a fortune. $1700 basically delivers it to your dealer and a nice wait of 3 weeks. it was one of 3 left in the world. ordered straight from germany.

Just curious. but how did the dealer order it? The current MBUSA dealerships EPC systems don't know HWA numbers from a hole in the ground and I don't think they have access to the Mercedes-Benz AG system.

BTW, AMG bodykits, even those made before Daimler bought them out, were never made of fiberglass, they have always been formed from polyurethane.

AMG_Eric

actually a 124 club member gave me the part # and we ordered it from a local dealership. so to answer your ? the dealers do know about the hwa part numbering systems.


as far as the fiberglass comment you are correct. my point was that if you have a fiberglass one it is a fake.

CDP

Eric, the bumper looks awesome!

Which dealership did you go to have them look up the HWA part #'s? I went to House of Imports and they literally couldn't find me crap.

AMG_Eric

i didnt use a dealership to look up the part #'s. they were given to me. i think alon or someone found them all.

CDP

I meant...what "local" dealership did you order the bumper from.

MTI

More than a few of us have the Euro EPC and have the old AMG HWA numbers, the problem arises when you step up to the dealership parts counter and they give you the MBUSA "can't find it" shrug.

CDP

Darn, I have a bunch of HWA part numbers I would like to fine.

AMG_Eric

i notice you live in hawaii. maybe that is what the problem is. maybe the dealerships over there think it is too much effort to look for you. i went into wholesale parts at caliber motors in anaheim hills and gave them my hwa parts list and they spit out all the pricing.

the best i think i could do to help you out is give you their phone number here in cali and see if they ship to you. all dealers should have the same database. however if the dealership doesnt update the database that might be the reason they cant find prices for your hwa numbers.

keep in mind i went in with the part numbers. they were not asked to find part numbers for items i wanted.

MTI

If only that were true (geographic limitation) but Mercedes Benz of Honolulu uses the same system that it's parent, Fletcher Jones, the largest dealership group on planet Earth, uses and I have a good relationship with the parts desk, so I feel pretty sure they aren't blowing me off.

jrmd01

MTI,

I agree with AMG_Eric. Although Mercedes Benz of Honolulu uses the same system that it's parent, Fletcher Jones; There are some parts that are just not worth their time to keep in stock or ship in either because of lack of demand, low profit margins, or hassel.

The "parts guy" may not be blowing you off, but for whatever reasons it not listed in the computer. Just order it from California since others are getting it from the dealers there.

AMG_Eric

there is a huge fletcher jones here in cali. the largest bnz dealer on the west coast. my suggestion would be give their WHOLESALE parts dept a jingle with a few hwa part #'s and see if they can find them. i gauruntee you that if you cant i can put you in touch with a dealer that can.

i want to assist in any way i can and not throw blows like this stealership is better then another. if there are a few parts you are looking for post up the #'s and lets all see if we can help.

CDP

can't wait to see those pictures Eric.

AMG_Eric

christ what a day. NO ONE carries the bosh fog lights. i got 1 estimate of 2 months for delievery. grrrr. so i went to pepboys and got some off road lights and temp modded them.

anyone know where i can get replacements or something else that fits in there perfectly? i can post the bosh part # if need be.

YNVDIZW124

Mercedes of long beach looked up those hwa # an gave prces try them

AMG_Eric

the dealer is who gave me the 1-2 month estimate. caliber motors had to call another vendor in h-wood. they are not stock mbz items so they dont have part #'s for them.

CaliE320

Hella has some fog lights that would fit..
just go to their website
~Cali

AMG_Eric

here is their website. got any idea whick light it is? there are tons of them.

AMG_Eric

ok here is the replacement part. its the same fog lights that are in a 85 528e bmw. just order those and you will have the ones that will fit an amg gen1 bumper cover.

btw i couldnt find the part # for the hella and i searched that whole site.

GORBETTTEAM

Here's one set...... LOL

CDP

was there suppose to be links or did the mods edit that out...?

AMG_Eric

me or gorbs?

there isnt one in my post because u can call imc and get the parts for 35 a piece.


gorb those are for a gen 2.

Makahveli

So whats the deal with the gap between the grill, headlights, and bumper? Not a perfect fit? Is it only reccomended for specific years and models? If I got those euro headlights does that mean I'd have to dump the wiper blades? How much more would it be to include the foglights too?
