190 Rear bumper brackets

[MBeadell]

Hi guys,

newto the forum as i just got my 190 on saturday. Have a couple of little things that needs sorting on it but nothing too major i hope. Main thing at the moment is that the rear bumper is not fitted. The previous owner removed it for some reason and doesnt have the side brackets. Does anyone know where i can get these from or have any? i take it its just going to be a cse of fitting these to the bumper then bolting it back on.

Other than that iys just the exhaust i need to fix ( center box i think ) and a new drivers seat ( has a rip in the side bolster ). Managed to fit all my stereo in over the weekend and must say its a very easy car to run wiring through what with the ducting in the floor, was very impressed.

Anyway im sure i will have more questions over the coming months but just need to get the rear sorted at the mo.

Cheers
Marc

they're only about £3 each from dealer, yes they fit on bumper then a 10mm bolt secures then from inside boot

sorry meant to say no need to remove plastic trims in boot covering inside of rear wings, side and rear bolt holes can be exposed via small flaps, as taking these off takes more time than fitting bumper

There's a specialist site for 190 owners in the UK which you might find useful - www.mercedes190.co.uk

Cheers guys. Just waiting on a call back from the local dealer now to order them. Then its a case of patching up the exhaust this weekend to make the car useable till i decide which exhaust system to go for. Was originally going to go sports but now thinking standard as its not likely to free up much power and i quite like the quiet stealthy approach.

Just joined the 190 site the other day.
