107 body panels.

[Ian B Walker]

I need a couple of rear 1/4 panels and two sills for a 350SL circa 1980. Managed to track down 2 sills from Hardians but the rear quarters are causing some concern. Mb do them but at £485 each plus vat. Looking for a more cost effective alternative. Can anyone help?

It's only about £100 less than they are at UK dealers, and imagine how much it would cost to ship it from America...

Sorry Nick try doing the math !!!


UK price £485 plus 17.5% x 2 = £1139.75


US price $649 x 2 exchange rate say 2$ to 1£ = £649

Then add 17.5% vat and 10% duty to the US price, and add £1000 for shipping....

Actually £485 + vat for a Genuine OE panel from the manufacturer for car that far out of production is pretty reasonable.

You'll know it will fit, and fit right, unlike anything from Europarts.
