Hello all,

2000 E430. A piece of the front facia hasfallen out. It is theright bumper grille.Please see picture below with the red arrow. I need a replacement but can't find it available from the usual online parts stores. They seem to only sell the center bumper grille section. Anyone know where I can buy this besides the local expensive MB dealer?

Thanks, Matt

I can help you. You can contact me via email at aap72@bellsouth.net. My name is Dave.

 

Be careful dealing with this character. His name is Davey Pittman, and he has owed me a refund for parts for months now. Several folks on Mercedes forums that I frequent have had issues with this guy; he uses multiple screen names and email addresses, but he can't escape his name and address (Atlanta area). Proceed with extreme caution. I am tracking down his many posts at multiple forums to warn folks about his practices. Take a look here for an example of his business practices:

Deal with a known company,Aurora auto wrecking in seattle wa online and 800 toll free ,google them and call to ask about the part.they have lots of w210's might have what you need.

also post athread on mbworld.org w210 section and benzworld.org w210 section maybe a member has a spare.

as to the davey deal above the aap72 is one of his known email scam adresses.run

 

I also am having a problem. However, when the incorrect part was delivered it was addressed from a Christian Neal not a Mr Pittman. Anyone else ever see this name before in relation to this issue as addressed in the previous posts? Thanks Bob

 

Matt -

I would check with the vendors who had the center section. Chances are if they can get the center section they can get the left and right portions.

Good luck.
