first of all *bad english alert* ;)

i´ve just bought a "GFK" ( so called in germany ) body for a 1957 Mercedes Benz 300 SL Roadster incl. lattice-tubingframe and also a negative-body.

Now í´ve searched almost the whole internet about reproduction-parts or scimilar, but no luck.

I need alsomost all external parts, as Bumpers, Lights, door-handles, trims etc..etc...

Since Gullwing Unlimited has closed their doors, i have no idea where i can elsewhere get those parts...

For example: An original Mercedes ( from classic-center ) complete front-bumper costs round about 12.000 $

Maybe one of you have a solution.

good luck and let me know how your project goes.

sorry for my late reply ... and many thanks for your answers ( esspecially in my language --- great ! )

@ QKracha - thanks for the hint. I agree, they´ll look pretty good on it, but unfortunately they won´t look like original bumpers. And my wish is to built a roadster wich looks almost like the original. But thanks anyway

@ 3rup - thanks for the links - i´ll try to get in contact with them.

by the way... does anybody know the name of the company ( as far as i know - located in Mexico ) who has manufactured the parts for the kitcar company "gullwing unlimited" ??

Regards,
Olaf

Just found and ad in Octane (a britsh magazine) it is for a company in europe, have not had time to look at it but they specialize in real MB 300SL so maybe they can help.
