FS/FT: M5 bumper

[clevertd]

First thing is first, pictures are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/32772303@N00/sets/72157619526726861/

You are free to criticize the bumper, my asking price, and my personal tastes;). I will entertain trades, I'm looking for OEM+ wheels. I can and will help with delivery in the southeast.

What is a fair price? I have a number in my head and want to see if it's in line with other enthusiasts. How interested are people? Would you be more interested if I prepped it for paint and fixed the lip? How much more is that worth to you?

Or should I just keep it and suffer the poor college life for another semester?

[janders211]

Do you have a pic with the license plate off? I'd guess $300 as is. I would probably only consider it for around $200 though. I wouldn't pay extra for prep- as I could do it myself.

I have some style 32's (17X8, 17X9) with 225/45/17 yoko S.Drives, and 8 or so stock 15X7s with tires in Bham. PM me if you want to talk about trades

[ltflint]

What kind of wheels are you looking for?

[ShapeShifter]

Trade for 17" staggered 32's?

[bam240sx]

just suffer man, i just had to sell my 240sx cause of college, if you know you are going to want it and dont dont necessarily NEED the money just keep it

[HE53]

I wouldn't sell it for less than 400.

[wastedincome]

Its bout $1k to replace that..... I just bought on this week used and I'd say $500 easy

[Steve547i]

I want this real badly. Especially because it is silver, and whaddayaknow, so i my car

I have oem refurb basketweaves, and id be willing to drive to get this thing

[zubbie]

Don't sell it unless you name a price. Speculation is the reason the economy is in the toilet

LOL at the 32's....familiar territory huh Tyler?

BUMP for a great seller and an awesome bumper. Someone get this guy some wheels

[NikosX]

I sold a rear for $450. I wouldnt take less than $500. Theyre impossible to find.

Id keep it.

[ShapeShifter]

ill throw in the fifth wheel, make a full set plus a matching spare.

[sachmo12345]

+1.

Good seller too

haha- I wasn't trying to over/underbid you. There is no way I'd trade my 32's with tires for this bumper. I would need cash on top as I have no need for it. It's all you if you want to work a deal with him. Sorry for the apparent..whatever it is you think I did.

Tyler, if you dare trade for 32's after all that F-ing work I did on those others, I will personally destroy that M bumper before its shipped.

You need to say, T-stars only please.

I would not need any cash.

[clevertd]

I'd like to thank everyone for their responses and trade offers. Right now, I think I'm going to continue to live the poor college life for another semester and try to get other things slowly sorted on my car.

[clevertd]

Some stuff hasn't worked out the way I wanted it to, so I am forced to move forward on this piece. I'm asking $500 picked up. I have no problem helping out with delivery if someone wishes to avoid shipping costs. I have family as far up as D.C. and as far down as just outside of Macon, GA so I can help out with transportation of it.

If you are interested, PM me or respond here. I am still open to criticism as the original post indicated :)

[janders211]

Are you still looking for wheel trades- or cash only (I am not asking for myself).

[clevertd]

Unless I could flip the wheels quickly, cash only right now.

Ninja edit: I'm in Charlotte, NC

[clevertd]

B-b-b-b-bump

[ltflint]

Q-q-q-q-quit tempting me!

[caferacer1]

Cant believe this hasn't sold yet. This is a great upgrade guys. (i'm sure you all know this) Some one help this guy out.

[clevertd]

Open to trade offers once again:)

[Steve547i]

Arg. I wish school wasn't looming over me. I want.

[MikeHsu]

Do you know the exact color of the bumper? My car is silver but I believe its called salmon silver. Would you take 350 for it. I live in dc

[clevertd]

I have the VIN of the car it came off of, guess I'll have to call the dealer to find out more information since the VIN decoder doesn't mention color codes. $350 is not what I am prepared to take.

[clevertd]

I just spent some coin on the materials and tools necessary to repair the lip of the bumper, will include with the sale if someone is interested before I repair it.

[clevertd]

For those interested, here's what I'm going to be using, following this link: http://www.bodyshopzone.com/archives/collision/bumper_cover/Mercedes.html

I think it will turn out pretty well!

I sell that stuff.. Good stuff... Just make sure its good and clean and scuffed well and you shouldn't have any problems.

Edit: after looking at your pics.. Make sure you V out that crack on the outside too.. then run a bead of 04240 down it.. and sand it smooth.

[clevertd]

$400 for the bumper, two (2) 4240 200mL containers, and the applicator gun.

Might wanna specify is that's shipped price or not bro. I might sell it for hookers and blow.:shifty

[ShapeShifter]

How much for the 4240 and applicator gun shipped?
I got an extra Porsche bumper that needs some help.

[clevertd]

I'd like to keep it all part of the package for now, but if I end up fixing it, I'll cut you a deal on the gun and the extra 4240.

[ShapeShifter]

That would be very cool. Thanks!

[Steve547i]

This thing still around?
I want it cuz its silver

[clevertd]

Yep. I believe my brother has started to work on fixing the lip since I'm pretty much limited to working on it whenever I go home, which isn't often.

[clevertd]

More updated pictures here, cell phone quality, but they may help you to see what the current state of the bumper is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/32772303@N00/sets/72157619526726861/

Bump...-er. It's taking up my floor space. Someone buy this.

[jrodgolfer]

Is it ready for paint, or does it still need repair?

The primer I sprayed on the lip will need to be sanded/scuffed for paint to stick. But the paint shop would do that for you. The damage is repaired. I didn't take pictures, but on the backside I also cut a V-groove and filled with the 3M-4240 for that extra bit of strength. I didn't sand it down though as its not visible. I can get more detailed pics sometime this weekend.

[MikeHsu]

Is the front bumper painted, just the lip isn't? Can you do 400 shipped?

I've got a trade worked out for the bumper, just waiting until next weekend. Thank you for your interest.
