I know a few of you here have Mercs, where do you go for new genuine parts? (other the dealer obviously!)
I'm after the bonnet 3 pointed star, the raised up 'traditional' not the newer flat one. It will be fitted to a '14 Plate E250 Saloon, I've run Mercedes Brentford and they want £51 inc Vat for one.
Thanks 
IMO that's not a bad price for a genuine merc part.
They are sprung loaded and designed to give way, in case of impact of a pedestrian perhaps.....something cheap copies might not do 
The facelift W212 is only sold with the Sport nose here, so 8" star on grill and a flat badge on bonnet... ROW got a choice according to model, so either Sport as above or traditional grill/emblem combo.
Pre and Post facelift bonnet panels
might just be the same, but if you put the 3d badge on a facelift car, the first question people will ask is why the bonnet needed replacing...
Need to be specific Tunnie so that you can be advised according to what you're trying to achieve...

If you're looking to replace the flat emblem with the 3d star, then you need to either special order it at your dealer, or buy abroad.
