I was looking at a W202 yesterday, which has a flat emblem rather than a star - would the star off my W201 fit?
 
I have one if you need it. Thought it would fit my ml but doesn't.

Message me if you want it?

No.
 
A Mercedes W201 doesn't have a bonnet star. It has a grille star which is not the same thing it all.
 
new ones £30 from the dealership
 
Very sure.

As your link shows it has a star mounted in the top of the grille not on the bonnet.

I would say that's the radiator surround...the grill being the bit below...but I know what you mean now...if a little pedantic.

Either way W201 and W202 stars are different parts.
 
Thanks chaps, you are of course correct, it does fit on top of the chrome grill on a W201. The w202 i looked at had an AMG roundel in place of the star - If it was a stright swap I would done it, but tbh I can probably live without it - at least there isnt a hole!
