Euro car parts or MB, not that much difference in the price.

Don't be tempted by the cheap prices on ebay. Theres a good reason why they're cheap. Learn from my mistake. Follow Malcolms advice and purchase from MB or Euro car parts.

Stolen emblem

Hi All

Why are they stolen? To replace those that have been stolen on other vehicles? Do they turn up at car boot sales, or what? Maybe they turn up on ebay.

I remember years ago they were worn on a chain around the neck of youths. Is this a re-emergence of the MB emblem as a fashion accessory?

Thank you for the help, i ended up just going to a near by mb garage, was in and out within 15-20 minuits with a new star. it only cost me £25, i was very happy to say the least. i was expecting a long ordeal of sending away for the part and then trailing back in for it. Unfortunatley the chances are that it will happen again, a member of the service team told me a man was in 5 times in the 1 year to get it replaced. :(:(

:):):):)

Once when I was in ECP the guy in front of me bought a box of 10 to last him the year :(
