Roads are horrible and my front bumper could be looking better.. Half of it is missing I need an affordable replacement, I've found it on ebay for about 140 bucks but they have no headlamp washer.. HELP

I work in a bodyshop, so my advice to you is look for a USED bumper and stay as far away as possible from Chinese replicas or Jobber bumpers as they are referred to in the trade. They do not fit our and most German cars properly, you'll waste your money and time trying to adjust it.

Good luck.

Yes but either way I'm still having incredible trouble locating a bumper. Any leads are appreciated.

Hey man I was just getting ready to order an aftermarket bumper cover for my E-class from here: http://www.performanceproducts4benz.com/ Very good prices, $209 for an E320 bumper cover. As it turned out for me however, my body shop gave me their cost which was very close to Performance so I never ordered it from Performance. However, I have ordered other parts through Performance and have been very pleased!

"Jobber" is a price rate not a brand or quality rating. Although I agree not all aftermarket products are the best; to assume that they are all junk however, is very short-sighted.

CKonstantin

Most of them are, at least the ones I've seen. I'm talking about OEM replacement products which are supplied by big companies like Keystone and BMC, despite having their fit guaranteed they rarely fit any German cars, materials, plastic welds are also substantially lower quality than originals especially for older cars. It is not uncommon for VW jobber bumpers to literally come apart during trial fit or final assembly. OEM moldings usually cannot be installed into such bumpers, due to variations in dimensions, material thickness and rigidity, Jobber moldings don't fair much better either.

As for the 'body-kit' style bumpers, some are better than others, although most suffer from the same faults especially the fiber-glass ones. not to mention the fact that, for the most part they are significantly weaker and won't absorb the impact in the same way that a factory bumper would.

Just my 2cents.

year,etc?

It's a 2000 Mercedes-Benz E430 4matic Sedan.

EDIT: Forgot to add that it's silver. I believe they call it brilliant silver.

13bArtillery107

Even if it wasn't silver I can paint it, as long as it's the correct bumper with the headlamp washers. I've only found them without the washers.

ohlord

came with the xenon option cars so that is what you are looking for.
You have factory xenons?

13bArtillery107

Yes I do.

13bArtillery107

Could someone please help me because I simply cannot find this bumper. The only one i've been able to find was 500 bucks from a salvage yard and has damage. I don't want to have to just take out the head light washers just to make the bumper fit.

13bArtillery107

Can you give me a direct link to it? I'm only finding the one without headlight washers. I need the one that has them.

I deleted that post because when I went back and looked at it, it was in fact only for models without the lens wiper. You might want to call Performance however and ask them directly or if they might have a resource for you. They have been very good people to work with on my end so I am sure if they can assist you that they will.

Here are some prices on original new, original used, and aftermarket. Check out the one at ECS Tuning... it may be the one you need, brand new original mercedes benz for $285. (Double check your part number to make sure it is correct. I think you need part number 2108852325).

Its not a wiper as such, but a sprayer. They used to be wipers (though never on a W210), and they persist in calling them that.
