190E Front Wing

[red190]

First post so here goes....

I'm looking for a supplier fo OEM body panels.

I need a new O/S/F wing for my 1990 190E

I'm going to stear clear of second hand, or the panels on offer fron G&S or Euro, after taking a look at one at the local branch.

Can anyone suggest a source of OEM panels, apart from dealing directly with MB UK?

why not deal direct with MB? for parts they are generally not much more expensive(often cheaper) than the aftermarket suppliers.

Andy,

MB will not give me a discount.

I've owned Audis, BMW's Saab etc and without fail have always managed to get 10-15% discount at the parts desk.

Agree that the costs are not that great (£115-£130) but don't like the attitude of the local dealer. :evil:

tee hee - first rule when dealing with MB - if you are not happy with 1 dealer then phone another - some will give discount some won't and some are cheaper than others in the first place. According to our local dealer MB set guideline prices - it's up to the individual dealer to charge what they want to within reason.

It could be that if they are not willing to offer a discount they are at the bottom end of the price bracket.

Alternatively get a friend in the trade to ring and see if they will give them discount.
