let my in-law use my car...now bumper is cracked

Hey guys,

Long time member here needing your help. I lent my car out to my brother and sister-in-law, now my front bumper is cracked...anyone got a spare?

My car is an 1986 300E

Email me if you have an extra bumper. Give me a quote with shipping to Hawaii 96706.

Thanks,

jrmd01@yahoo.com

P.S. I know this really should be in the classified section, but I guessing I might get more response here.

Is it the bumper or just that black impact strip? The strip can be bought cheaply but shipping is going to be high due to the size. The strip can be easily replaced.

Never loan you car to your in-laws, LOL.

Try Fed ex home delivery they saved me from looking like an a@@ when I had to ship a spolier to another member...The Brown truck guys really ripped me a new one when I went to ship, even though I pulled estimate from their website.....
Sorry tohear about your car though, I have just about all the damage repaired/replaced on mine except the blower motor and key, have not had time to go down to MBZ and order a new one.
