Not MB but interesting for comparison as we so often believe we are being shafted by MB, btw I don't disagree.
The poor other half was attacked by a road barrier yesterday in her Honda Civic (2012 version).
One of those that is raised from one side like we see the Germans doing in WWill films. Anyway it must have jumped forward as she reversed, as with a reverse cam and parking sensors how could it be not using mirrors to see something above these totally over confidence inspiring gadgets.
So inner rear o/s light goosed, as is the LED brake light. A fair bit of the smaller rear screen is inside the mo mo. I am surprised she failed to collect the rest so that I may glue it back together.
B'ham breakers with collection only, rear light £49. So I messaged for other bits. Whole 'bare' tailgate for the screen £190, LED brake light £120.
LED bit pricey methinks, don't need a whole tailgate so asked Honda.
Screen £233, LED £354, Light £181. Fitting bits for the screen around another £60. Including VAT the whole lot would be £995. Gosh old bean that seems a tad like the barrier up me rectum.
With the insurance excess at £350 methinks breaker bits and my have a go attitude wins.
