Euro Impact strips
Has anyone who doesn't have parktronic changed their impact strips to the euro (no front orange side marker) that also has the holes for the parktronic? I like the look that it gives to the car, but wondering if there are any problems having these impact strips in the two front sides and also the rear center strip changed to these. And can you order them from the US dealerships or do you have get it from a european stealership? if anyone has pics that would be awesome too. thanks!

Nothing MB related (sorry)
David, retrofitting impact strips with parktronic holes without actually having parktronic - thus no sensors, either! - will probably look kind of weird...

Contact Steve @www.MBENZNL.com re the Bumper Inserts..
Yes You CAN add the Euro Bumper Inserts WITH parktronic..Just install the sensors..
Since its a Euro Part It Has to be ordered from Europe..Its Does NOT have the Amber front side marker..a DOT requirement for USA cars
I Have Parktronic on The W211
