Nice! Might be worth a try. These would work best for facelift models with painted impact strips so you can paint to match.

Gonna be tough, if not impossible, to match the faded-black texture and color of the pre-facelift impact strip. Or, paint the entire pre-facelift impact strip (more $$$).

But $200 for a repop that's below OEM kwality...? Ouch.

Some interesting stuff, but I hate how they're selling $40 Chrysler PT Cruiser aftermarket China fog lights as "AMG Reproduction" units...

Ugh...... but technically speaking since those are for late R129s and W202s and AMG was part of MB by then, aren't those basically "Reproduction DaimlerChysler parts for DaimlerChrysler cars, of which AMG is just a sub-brand of DaimlerChrysler"?

...but the "reproduction" is not even remotely similar to the actual AMG lamp assembly. It's vaguely the same shape, but that's it. Absolutely everything about that lamp is wrong... lens, housing, mounting, bulb, even the connector. A "reproduction" should at least mimic form & function, no?

Not cool.

This guy was selling these for half that price originally on eBay

Looks like the same guy, now selling on eBay? He sure is proud of those 126/107 speedo conversions with 190mph faceplates and rolled-back odos.

No affiliation, no idea what the quality is like, etc etc:

Wow! $250.00! I paid $100.00 for mine a few years back. I guess if you must have one (considering all 124 parts are skyrocketing) it’s not to much.

Any leads on these? The repop guy has disappeared.

Yep. A week after ordering I was just refunded with no explanation. His listing on ebay was pulled and no response when I messaged him. Very odd since I contacted him before purchase that I could not find his current listing. He sent me an item number and I bought it then was refunded a week later. ????????

I got this filler plate from this seller back in May 2023 (I know $200 was an extremely expensive, but I had just imported the car to the U.S., and wanted to get rid of the ugly front UK plate).

Overall, the quality is pretty good…I’m not sure what OEM feels like but this one feels sturdy, feels strong and not flimsy.

I recently got it painted to match the car. Personally didn’t have any problems with the item or the seller.

This was it before the paint.
