- 230TE, but mum had a new 230TE in 1984 (W123), (not the same one) mines a W124
A few weeks ago I bought a white 230TE estate. It's tatty, the body needs some attention, though it is mechanically sound. About a fortnight ago, my brother offered me his power wash machine, so I set about cleaning the car, under the arches etc.. when woomph! the power jet water went through the passenger wing, lo and behold there arose a new orifice to my car, full of orangey brown shrapnel within! Anyway I called merc, they would like about %35 of the value of the car for one, I called Rob parker who offered me a pattern for less than %10. IF there is anyone kind enough to transplant (or know of) a white wing for a broken one, I would be rather much obliged to hand over the few shekels that remain in moth ridden trouser pockets.
N.B my mechanic did a few things to it and had a look around.. there seems to also be a similar disposition arising possibly in the near future on the drivers side rear quarter panel too.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
