Hey,

I wasnt busting on you, and if I came across that way, my apologies. I looked at your pictures and it looks like you already have the holes. I looked again at my car and there is actually 2 holes on each side. I will get you some pictures. I am thinking STD website is down. I will try my best to get you some snappies tomorrow. I asssume you removed the treaded rods which hold on any bumper. There is a double on each side and a single. The Euro bumper only uses one thread rod per side -- that's the brackets I am selling. There is a later version that uses two of the three threaded rods.

Thanks,

No worries, I just have little experience with Euro parts and feel stupid asking questions sometimes. I don't know what remains of the original bumper, if anything. When I got the car, it had a plastic bumper (claimed as AMG by the scumbag seller), bolted onto a wood plank, which I tore off a year ago and began my search for a REAL one.
