I love the way you show the disassembly. However I didn't see how you took the plastic part off between the door and fender. Still love your video. Thanks.

Fun with Mike. Thanks, I think that piece they made to hold the bumper cover to the lower front edge of the fender is a great idea. Never knew it and glad you showed it. I love those cars but parts and paying for mechanical work would be too insane. Do appreciate watching what you have to offer and thank you for it. Randy has a great group of buddies. Sonny(CT)

The reason why the bumper and hood don't match 100% is the fact that the bumper is from a facelift W220 P.S. Great videos, really funny
