    Sports grille emblem for W211 E Class needed

    Now a fully fledged member of the Dr-Nab appreciation society. I picked up my grille star, as identified by the good doctor, today from MB Bridgend and it fits perfectly. Am happy now my baby ain't naked no more ;-)

    Sports grille emblem for W211 E Class needed

    That's fantastic -cheers Nick. I'd rip their arm off for a replacement under a tenner :-) The star that was originally on my grille had "L" shaped hooks on the back of it. To attach the star, I remember that I had to slot the hooks into the holes in the fitting in the grille and rotate to lock.

    Sports grille emblem for W211 E Class needed

    Thanks again Nick. Your help here is hugely appreciated. I've just been outside and measured the badge. It has a diameter of exactly 7.5". Looks like I'll need to recalibrate my search.

    Sports grille emblem for W211 E Class needed

    Thanks Nick. That's really interesting. Originally, when I contacted MB Parts they explained that the actual star was available to purchase for £27+VAT. However, when they put me through to my local dealers, they explained that the star was not available to buy separately. I went back to...

    Sports grille emblem for W211 E Class needed

    Really sorry sweetpea but it was like it when I bought it back it March. I hear what you're saying but it looks daft at the moment with a black plastic fitting where the silver star used to sit.

    Sports grille emblem for W211 E Class needed

    Thanks Jaymanek. Yes - eBay was my first port of call but these are not what I'm after. I have the flat badge on the bonnet. I'm missing the much larger star emblem on the grille itself.

    That's exactly what I'm talking about. It looks really good - when it's in place :-)

    Sports grille emblem for W211 E Class needed

    Thanks Nick. I've spoken to MB and they have confirmed that it is a genuine part but the star isn't available on it's own. Obviously, I don't really want to buy the full grille. The star is approximately 7.5".

    Absolutely agree with your comments about MB Specialist Bridgend. Superb indy - just wish they were based in Cardiff.

    Thanks Rory. I have the indy-level policy with WD so I was thinking more of indies than dealers. I appreciate that I could go anywhere to have the brakes done but the inconvenience of not having the car for two days is a factor. A one-stop shop would be ideal. I think there's a problem...

    Sports grille emblem for W211 E Class needed

    Exactly what I thought but, apparently, mine does. There's no "stand-up" badge on the bonnet just the flat MB one. The grille (apologies for the lack of technical know-how) has shiny black vents and (up until someone removed it) a silver plastic MB star in the middle of it.

    MB Servicing in Cardiff

    Thanks. I'll try them again then. I had a quote from the dealers some time ago and it was very expensive. Basically, I just need a service that'll maintain my WD warranty. I also need some brake work done so I'm a bit nervous about engaging the dealers.

    Thanks fella. I tend to use the indy in Bridgend (which is excellent) but it's difficult getting back to Cardiff for work without wheels. Seems odd to me that there doesn't appear to be an indy in the Capital.

    I have a W211 E270 CDi 03 Reg. My next service is due in 1k miles (about three weeks away). Any recommendations for a good garage in the Cardiff area? I have a Warranty Direct policy in place so I need to ensure that whatever service I receive is compliant with WD's (exhaustive) T&Cs.

    Sports grille emblem for W211 E Class needed

    I need to get hold of a replacement MB star sports grille emblem for my W211. Apparently, MB only offer an entire grille replacement for £150 + VAT. I've tried eBay and gone through the online scrappies but to no avail. Any ideas?

    Need two bits - not sure what they're called

    Quick update following a phonecall to my local MB Dealers: £25 for W211 grille MB star badge (ridiculous for a piece of plastic) £68 for the centre console bits (they don't sell individual pull handles - apparently) If anyone has a spare grille badge . . . .

    Need two bits - not sure what they're called

    Thanks guys. I'll ring the dealers tomorrow. I've had a quick look on eBay and they don't appear to be selling at the mo.
