So .... why would someone engrave 'Made in Germany' ie in English, on a German made product? :confused:
To let the English speaking world know where it was made...:rolleyes:

Having gathered a few quotes the general consensus is that's around the £1400-1600 mark for fronts (inc sensor)

I did get one quote in for £380.00 which I immediately questioned if the were using genuine Mercedes OEM parts, which they were adamant they were....I'm still left thinking...No, you're talking out the wrong end...discs alone are £800 a pair, how is that possible?? They must be after markets...

Is it worth investigating aftermarket parts or just a false economy?
Including MB Grangemouth?

I always feel in 2 minds when I post such bargains Alex! Sorry :(:rolleyes:

No not at all, post away!! It's not you, its the supply network.

We don't want customers think we are taking advantage, and some may think that when comparing main dealer parts with us vs main dealer.

Think you might still get the Op as a customer hopefully

This popped into my email this morning.
If these are indeed 'genuine' then that is a serious bargain. I can't endorse, I've no idea who GTV Projects are- quick google says they are in Latvia. Anyone had any experience of them? Via Amazon at least you have some come back....

Edit: belay that excitement that appears to be a single disc so £653 isn't quite such a bargain!
