Front bumper - ordering a new

I need to replace my front bumper.

There obviously are a lot of parts in the EPC (see photo).

Does it normally come complete? Partly complete, or do I have to order every part in the photo? If complete, does it indeed include all parts on the picture?

The so called "front bumper face bar" - no 5 is broken on the right side a few inches from the edge. Also the front bumper "rail" - no 49 is toast.
(the other ones marked in the photo probably needs replacement)

What is the difference between no 5 and no 8 - they look identical..?

Price for complete is $1194
"Bumper cover" only is $892
Shipping to Norway is $999 (wicked!)

I'd be really happy if someone have some ideas on how to make this as reasonable as possible :)

Item #5 includes item #'s 8, 11, 23, and 26. Note that these four item descriptions appear in the list with a period before the description, indicating they are part of the higher level assembly listed above them in the list.

The face bar (impact strip, #49) is sold separately, but can be re-used if undamaged. You'll need to swap over some of the mounting hardware from the old bumper to the new, unless you want to buy all new stuff. Shouldn't need to replace the foam behind the impact strip.

:spend:

Hi.

"North Europe"..?
Nice to see you are from Norway. Shoot me an Email or PM if you like to get in contact. :-)

About your bumper inquiry, it's probably only one way to get that bumper to Morepay at a reasonable cost, by surface shipping i.e. boat. I have contacts on that option if you like.

Cheers
 
I do I have to order every part in the photo?

Yes you do...... And complete price for the bumper is more than 1194$- only cover cost 957 Euro, Nr.49 cost 220 euro, Nr.11 cost 53 euro...so on..
Repair your old bumper- best solution.
Here is a Bill after small accident i had....

I agree with Arkady here. Unless the bumper is totally toast it's worth to repair. Or you can by it on Ebay.de and probably end up with some cracked shit to at least 500 Euro + 100 Euro shipping + 25% Norwegian VAT + custom fee + repair and spraying. I guess Cabcruiser at our MBE club has something for sale. I organized a secondhand bumper for him in Germany, so he probably has some leftovers.

Cheers

NO, you do not. Please read my previous post.
