With the Cosworth slowly creeping into collector territory as clean examples are drying up, owners are starting to realize that used parts are really the only option to keep their cars nice as Mercedes-Benz has stopped supporting these cars years ago, especially for cosmetic pieces… such as bumpers! Aftermarket parts lack the quality of Genuine Mercedes-Benz as their fit and finish is less than desirable. This Cosworth front bumper is in incredible condition and has never been mounted. Front bumpers bear the brunt of road debris and god-forbid an accident. Parts like this front bumper assembly should be a no brainer to purchase if you plan on owning your Cosworth for the long term. We’ve seen classic cars have small fender benders and will then just sit for months or years as owners try to source good quality parts. This assembly would be excellent to have for a rainy day.
