Best source for new front bumper cover for 98 SL600?
It does NOT have the AMG Sport package.
I've done a Google search and looked on eBay. MBUSA says "discontinued".
I assume there must be an aftermarket manufacturer making them now.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

The only covers newly made are from Duraflex and I don't know if they make covers for the regular style body work.
This one is actually not that bad.

So will a 97 SL500 front bumper cover fit my 98 SL600? (neither have AMG sport package)
I have read that the front end on the SL600 is slightly longer than the 500/320 and thus the 600 has a specific front bumper cover.
Does anyone have part numbers on these covers? Thanks.

Are you sure? My 600 does NOT have the sport package. The 97 500 donor car does not either.
The MBUSA site on the exploded diagram of the front bumper assembly gives part # 129-880-14-70 for the 500/320 and # 129-880-17-70 for the 600.

You have the regular style (AKA facelift) body work for your year car.
It looks like the two numbers are for two different cars (600 and other).
It is interesting that the Sport body work listed below the regular body work on both diagrams, lists only one number (WA 129-885-01-25).
I know where to find that WA number on my Sport front bumper cover, but I don't know where to find it on the regular body work.
