help finding parts on a budget

[hastings]

hi all
im new to this forum having just bought a 06 c220 cdi sport edition estate with some damage to the front i need the following parts and am having trouble finding them and was wondering if any one here would know where to look
the parts are as follows

amg front bumper

two headlights because the plastic brackets have broken (hope i can repair)
and can i just buy the xennon headlight units and plug em in

and two wings

and i also need the cd for the satnav unit

thanks in advance and hope someone can help because the bumper is very expensive at the dealers

Given the age I'd guess the dealer is your only option.

HID headlights require a self-levelling system and ballasts.

thanks for the replys

yeah i have seen the one on ebay but it is for a coupe and i have been told only a saloon or estate one will fit.

Have you tried Mercman and dronesfield

 

[hastings]

i have tried mercman and dronesfield , they have got the wings and headlights but its the bumper that's the problem and the price the dealer's want is to much for me, but thanks for the ideas anyway

Possibly an inpractical suggestion but can the bumper be repaired? The can do wonders these days.

its going to the body shop tomorrow and im preying it will repair i have posted a couple of pictures.
what does everyone think???????
will it repair or not that is the £527+vat question

 

[television]

I would say that that will repair 100% do a search on bumper repairs

With plastic welding you will not see a mark

well had it looked over today and they said the bumper has had it and cant be repaired and he even showed me some more dents and scratchs on it than i first thought i think it might be a case of the bloke i bought it from tarted it up to look good so a *** like me to can buy it.

o well thanks for the help anyway

good buy 527 +vat

im starting to dent my winter holiday fund now,,,,,

You cant have everything in life, at least not all at once...........so I used to be told anyway:-|
Your car will be nice and still a bargain? when repairs are completed

malcom you are the man
i am forever in your debt
by the way i think thats the wrong bumper by the way i have not got water jets and it just does not look right round the headlight area of the bumper

Hello

quote "good buy whistler"


too right !!! get your car sorted it will look cool, strap a roof box on with your kit it and take a road trip to the alps. Some of the best snow their and you get to enjoy your car instead of sat on a cramped plane for 9 hrs.

Every cloud and all that...

I did go back to your car picture, but I could not see the water jets, it was also missing one nearside strip

sounds good to me a210 amg

just had a good phone call i have found two headlights bonnet and two wings all for 350 now to just get the bumper o and i think i also need the underneath plastic guards but i will know for sure tomorrow because the bodyshop is stripping it down so i will find out exactly what i need (the stuff you/I cant see)
i paid £8500 for it and thought it would cost no more than a 1000 to repair but i think it will be nearer the £2000/£2500 mark all body work done by a friend of mine that does all mercedes/audi/vw's work in the bromley area so it should still be covered by the rust warranty but its begining to look like i will have to fork out dealers price for the bumper

 

[hastings]

i went down to the body shop today and found it was light damage just like i thought so all i need is the 3 rads er,, intercooler/aircon/oil rads i think anyway
anyone got any ideas where i can find this ****** amg bumper i will give someone a £50 finders fee if they find me one that i buy, and im a man of my word its for the facelifted class c220 find pictures on 1 page

 

[hastings]

has anyone had any dealings with smithbumpers from ebay i think they got the bumper i need to finish my parts list
