96 R129 FRONT BUMPER

Hi guys, really need help over here, crashed my baby 😢 two weeks ago, and can't be without him for so long, I urgently need a front bumper for my car, the ones that i look in eBay used are too expensive almost the same price as the new one in the stealership.

I live in Dominican Republic, there no much SL in junkyards here, 129 from my year is difficult to find.

If someone lives near a junk yard, would really appreciate the help.

Pictures of the car so you could cry with me

Search for a used or reman bumper. I bought the fiberglass one on eBay and my body shop told me I needed more work to get it installed than buying a factory bumper would cost. Perhaps where you are labor would make it worth your while. But it doesn't look exactly the same. I ended up having my bumper repaired.

Mine is too damaged to be repaired. The shop told me the best choice is an used one or the new one

There are plenty of sites that specialize in used bumpers. I would call them, pay with credit card over the phone and I'm sure they'll be willing to ship if you cover the costs.

Hi V-AMG, can you kindly recommend a few of these sites? I'm also looking for a used from bumper for my R129 SL AMG. Thanks!

Purpledog,
I don't have one i can recommend honestly. I bought mine from whoever happened to have what i needed at the time. I've done it a few times and it worked out well.
