WTB 05+ W203 Luxury bumper

I am looking for the facelift luxury (not sports/AMG) front and rear bumper including the bumper strips and fog lights. Prefer 040 black but others would work, too. Please let me know what you have and how much you want for it. Thanks.

Yes, my lease is up in a month and I need to have the car back to original. If you decide to sell yours please let me know.

Haha,
Sorry... I don't think I can sell it without a replacement =P

And I don't intend on making any more mods for awhile, since I just spent quite a bit

But good luck though!

Where do you live? If close enough we can probably get it done at the same shop after I confirm with my dealer that they'd take the pre-facelift bumper.

If you can send me your bumper I can probably get mine shipped out in a day or two back to you after I receive. Let me know if you want to sell yours.

That's actually almost a perfect deal for me.

Pro's:
1) I've been wanting a Rieger Front
2) It's already painted Black
3) It's set up for quad fogs!!!
4) Only have to pay for shipping


Con's:
1) Definitely noticed by parents, ontop of exhaust
2) Won't have a bumper for about a week or 2...
3) body shop costs to mount and re-wire sidemarkers/front fogs =/
4) Shipping might cost a lot... Don't know if they charge by weight or size, because the eisenmann I had shipped (37.2lbs) cost me $130 =/
And it was about the size of a microwave. This bumper is obviously a whole lot bigger.
5) I should probably retain the stock parts just incase

Right now the con's out-weigh the pro's, hehe

But this is a really sweet trade for anyone who wants to trade their stock for a rieger =/


I wish you luck once again, and if you were actually local.. this probably would've been a done deal.. The shipping thing just really turns me off on this trade

C230 K Coupe (05)
will that lip work on an 05 c230 sprots coupe too?

my fog lights are stock...so does it require a lot of work for switching it out with your quad fog lights or is it just plug and play?

Coupe and sedan have different bumper I think. I didn't do the wiring myself but I saw the product and it didn't look that hard. Should be an easy job for any good audio shop!

Will do! The dealer says he isn't sure but he's confirming with MB Financial so hopefully it'll work. Anyone else had this kind of experience before feel free to jump in, please.

What ever happened to this? Did you and Jimmy do a trade? I have the same exact bumpers as jimmy. I'm up for a trade if you are. Only if Jimmy hasn't pulled the trigger.

He called MB Financial but they never gave him a positive answer. I'll ask him again today and see what happens.
