SL320
Just bought an SL320 and the o/s front bumper is not hanging correctly where it meets the wheel arch so upon investigation i discovered the metal bracket is missing and the steel bodywork that the bracket is mounted on has corroded away. Is the bodywork steel pressing replaceable? Anyone had a similar problem and what was your remedy please?
 
The L-shaped bracket is replaceable, but it sounds like your wings are on their way out also.
 
Ok thanks for that. Are you saying the bracket mount is part of the wing pressing assembly?
 
No, it's a separate part. It's been a while since I've been in there though so I can't remember exactly where it bolts to the chassis at the top.

Thank you' I'll make some inquiries on where to buy steel pressings.
 
I don't think you'll find them anywhere but from Mercedes TBH.
