Changing 1998 E320 Bumper

Hello

I have a 1998 E320 that requires a new bumper/valence. I've had quotes for $1200+ from body shops, but it looks like I can get one for about $500 on car-part.com. Does anyone know of a cheap reference that describes the assembly/dissasembly of this part. The STAR manual for the E320 runs about $200, which kind of defeats the purpose of DIY. Thanks in advance for any help.

Unfortunately you would likely get other opportunities to "save money" if you bought the service manual.

For your actual question you would probably get better replies from the W210 section.
