W124 pre facelift bumper rail

[blondebier]

I'm after one of these. The part number is A1248851021.

It's the black unpainted bit on the bumper in the middle. The first bit that will get scuffed if someone can't park! Mine had the unfortunate pleasure of this, and is now scuffed. Grrr.

I thought I'd ask on the off chance anyone has one kicking about that is scuff and scratch free. I'd rather not spend £80 at the stealers.

Cheers,
Blondebier

Has anyone tried any parts from Beever Auto panels?

I have found what I believe to be the bumper rail here for £30...

I am a purist and all my other bits for the restoration are genuine MB but I figured as this bit is plastic trim, does it really need to be?

I bought one form ECP for about £20 recently - looks really cheaply made compared to the original but once on, it might look ok. (i've not put it on yet as I need to source a rear as well)

Keen to know what this one is like.

Hi Sp!ke,

I`m still undecided which way to go.

In what way does the ECP one look cheap? Are the edges rough?

Cheers,

The ECP one is made of black plastic, its very thin and weighs nothing. Once its on the car it might not be noticeable I guess but the quality is very low indeed.
