2002 C220 Coupe Passenger Side Front Wing - RUST

[Banihwah]

C Class - C220 Coupe 2002.

Yes indeed, the dreaded rust rears its ugly head. I have been trying to find a replacement passenger side front wing and while I can find the saloon front wing for peanuts, the Coupe appears to carved from pickled Unicorns and Pixies. A rare beasty indeed.

Does anyone know where I may be able to get a pattern front wing? I'm guessing that an original Merc wing would be...prohibitive!

Any hints and tips (on subject) gratefully received!

Cheers folks.

A few on ebay

I have been surfing ebay for quite a while, looking for that elusive front wing. I've seen a few second hand ones, but I'm not keen on that, unless they can prove its post 2005 and therefore galvanised.

I would rather buy a new pattern part, but the new ones tend to be marked as "not coupe" and the new ones for the coupes are often over £200 rather than £40 for the saloon.

I was rather hoping that there would be a Merc parts specialist that you guys on here would know about.

Thanks for the response though. Always appreciated.

Spot on. Ordered the wing... still about £140 all in, but way less than the £250 plus delivery that Euro who ha was charging. Many thanks for the link, much appreciated.

Been looking at bits on this site, have you used them before?
Dipstick seems too good to be true MB Leiester told me it is £140 and classed as a workshop tool. Under £10 on here inc postage
