As follow-up on my previous post I'm replacing damaged parts of my C230.
The parts to be replaced are:
front bumper assembly
both headlamps
both headlamp frames
radiator/AC condenser/PS oilcooler
bonnet/grill
RF fender
front-bottom enginebay cover
To get it all nicely lined up and for accessability when mounting I was wondering what the best sequence is of fitting respective parts.
I already have fitted the inner bumper beam as a starting point, now I was thinking of fitting the rads/cooler since there is still room to reach hoses and pipes. Then headlampframes because they support the bumperends too.
Then RF fender, but what next? Headlamps or bumper since there will be some adjustment needed.
Finally the bonnet, am I doing right?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
