Frequently asked questions
What is included in the bumper kit?
It depends on the item. A basic bumper is a plastic base without grilles or covers, while a bumper assembly already includes grilles and other elements listed in the product name. The exact contents are shown in the photos and in the “Package contents” field on the product page.
Does the bumper need to be painted?
Most plastic bumpers are supplied ready for painting. First, the bumper is test-fitted on the car without paint to check gaps and mounting points, and only then is it painted to match the body color. Dakar metal bumpers come with a black coating, while original Mercedes G-class bumpers are available in white and black.
How can I tell if the bumper will fit my car?
Choose the make and model in the filter and check the production years in the product name: bumpers for pre-facelift and facelift versions differ. For some models, body type, trim level, and the car market (Europe or the USA) are also important. Send the manager the VIN and photos of the car — especially if the bumper has already been replaced.
Can I install a newer-design bumper on an older model year?
For some models, facelift bumpers and facelift kits are available, which update the car to the design of the newer version. It is better to replace the front and rear bumpers in the same style, otherwise the car will look unfinished.
Can bumper mounting hardware be bought separately?
Yes, for some models brackets, guides, retainers, and bumper absorbers are sold separately. Some small items, such as the tow hook cover for an M bumper, are not sold separately — only together with the bumper.
Will the parking sensors, camera, and headlight washers remain?
Check the photos and the product name to make sure the new bumper has provisions for your car’s equipment. Sensor holes are often only marked and are cut out during preparation, while the sensors and brackets themselves are transferred from the original bumper.
