Replacing A Fender On My Cheap Mercedes S500

Monkey Wrench Mike shows you just how easy it is to replace a fender on a Mercedes W220 and shows you where to find the paint code so your new fender matches!

[@ecnalav]

I watched your vid today and put a fender on my 2002 S430. Thanks for your instructions, they really did help!

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Glad I could help!

[@Jerry-dk8se]

Glad that Randy really likes you and recommended your channel. Love the optimistic, humorous approach that you have to your videos.

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Thanks Jerry!!

[@Mikefromcaus]

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.

[@sonnyblazer5504]

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)

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Yeah, Randy is a good guy and he has great friends!

[@J19A95B]

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

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Ding dong ding!!! We have a winner!!

[@ericphillips9608]

Good job and intro was not annoyingly long. Very good tips.

[@nnadozie6190]

My father had an older 1990's era Mercedes 230(I think 230..could be wrong) "Bavarian" when I was a kid growing up in Nigeria. Loved that car. Love your channel. Yes, the Copart walkarounds introduced me to you and I'm quite glad. Subscribed🤙

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

"I'm in the car". Your grandson is so adorable.

[@gilbertfranklin1537]

I have always liked Mercedes, and now I have learned something from you. If I ever get one, I will never go pay the price for a new one - I will just find someone like you and get a refurbished one... real cheep :>)

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Yay! My job here is done!! Lol

[@montyholland3357]

Mike you should transfer out here to Colorado. We love metrologists of your character..

[@Laffy1345]

No.....you can't have him. Mike I'll send you a 10mm socket to stay in Oklahoma 😂

[@45AMT]

Great Video! Wow that $100 went along way here! Have a great Fathers day weekend Mike!

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Thanks!!

[@mp330600]

Hey Mike, Randy sent me. I enjoyed your video and so I subscribed. Looking forward to more videos.

[@Poncho202]

Glad your showing the Merc some love

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

The mat idea is actually genius!!

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Thanks! Can’t explain how many times I’ve used them in my driveway... lol

[@JamesBond-yw3dj]

😵 Mike, that car had an AMG bumper on originally.... I would not be able to sleep at night. Actually I don't think I'll sleep tonight after this. 😳 Great videos keep them coming. 😁

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Good eye!! Thanks for commenting!!

[@southshorecollectibles]

Happy Father's day Mike

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

You too! Thanks!!

[@southshorecollectibles]

@@MonkeyWrenchMike Thanks, Mike! You are a true friend, you always find the time to respond to my comments. I truly appreciate it and you!

[@Laffy1345]

Mothers Chrome polish will take off that yellowing on the headlight. Sweetcar projects on KZbin will show you how to clean it cheap.

[@brokenislanddesign7223]

I was going to hold off on replacing a fender on my S55 AMG, but after watching your super helpful video, I’m heading to LKQ now…& am going to look for one of those trunk mats too…great idea! Especially considering I have a shell gravel driveway 😭 Thanks for the great video!

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Very welcome!

[@chrisromanczuk1468]

Man I would love to buy an S500 but where I live in Canada it's impossible to find one without Rust and mechanically good

[@isaacduijs442]

The hood is a facelift model. The bumper is oke but the hood is by the grill diverent. The hood dont go all arround the grill by facelift.

[@terryschleicher8511]

You make it look easy. Like the video.

[@martinwright9238]

Hit the thumbs up guys support Mike

[@igorkaminsky9410]

Mike I have an AMG 2003 s500 it say air comprossor deactivated

Randy sent me over here.

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Thanks!!

[@fredstroh4308]

Looks good.

[@seandickson4480]

This video was great! However....have you done video on swapping out doors for the same model?

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Not yet!!

[@stvcone]

Nice video! Where did you buy the fender? Good price and nice shape

[@zacksalvatore9443]

What’re the plans for this beauty?

[@eatont9999]

I thought that door jamb bolt would make you scratch your head!

[@bevolkisch4628]

Rule #1 put all of your metal tools on top of your plastic engine cover so that you are sure to get it all nice and scratched up... 2:37

[@travisburch6970]

A E55 would be great. I been looking for one ever since I saw one on legitstreetcars. he also do Mercedes-Benz cars

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

I’ve always wanted an E55! I had a C43 that I really loved.

[@mikerock8177]

slk 230

[@garycook2355]

why was the music 3 times as loud as your voice? btw good job on the replacement.

[@KylePantano]

Which car do you use day by day? I know I would have to pick the S class!

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Yep! My daily driver is the 2001 S500. I’m selling the C240 so I drive it every once in a while.

[@KeiNovak]

What about that car you were hugging on Randy's channel? ;)

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

It sold for more than my buying power at auction Tuesday! I really wanted it too!!

[@crypt0curr3ncynewsguy76]

Good fun video, but your wing (fender) is a different shade in colour

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Just needs a buffing to match the rest of the car!

[@RobertMememe]

Next vehicle anything but a Mercedes

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

No airmatic compressor?

[@vl2230]

ABC is the answer, I think.

[@jasonbrown2912]

2002 bumper cover or 2003 hood , I dont knw the year of the car but yep one of the two ! Lol

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Exactly!!

I wish you stop playing so much and a better example of the fastener on the side skirt hiding the 2 10mm bolts on the side skirt...I'm still giving a thumbs up

[@nathanielgould5284]

Is that a MG in the background there?

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Yep! It was my father’s... now it’s mine!

@@MonkeyWrenchMike ha! I've got a couple of those myself. A, B, and a TD. My dad loved his MGs

[@Bootneck-RMC]

Another good video. You made that look so easy and my wife said that the next time you remove the bolts that are at the door, could you wiggle your butt a wee bit more please....

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Tell your wife it’s been years since I received a compliment like that!

Great idea! I need extras because I lose them too!

[@Laffy1345]

@@MonkeyWrenchMike lol...like big foot, they play hide and seek🤣

[@beyondrepair8949]

You know how I know your not married ........ you put the new fender in the ornamental grass. My wife would have my head if touched the ornamental plantings. In the flowers.....I would be shot on sight.

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

You’re very observant!! Good eye!

[@christophermason1574]

The bumper is wrong!!! Lol, love your humour, oh and the front fender is the wrong colour lol, but hey its from a junkyard, do you still have the original bumper? If so maybe you could cut the grill surround pieces off and plastic weld them to the new bumper?

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

That’s a good idea, thanks! The fender is the same color but it needs buffing. Give me an hour with some good polish and you won’t be able to see a difference.

[@tibianus123]

those doors look nasty as well, is there a point to repair car with that much rust?

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

For me, yes! I try to keep them on the road. And some cars I give to kids who need transportation to get to and from work. They pay me back when they can.
