Hi folks
I,m looking for a broken star emblem c class.any offers
 
You probably don't want a broken star?
Your local dealer will supply you an unbroken brand new one for about £14.00.
To fit open bonnet fully, approach existing star from below abnd turn fixing anti-clockwise and the thing will come out.
To refit insert the new star from the top and then, from underneath, turn the fixing clockwise. The nylon lugs will hold the star firmly in place.
 
I.m looking for a broken one,Ive got a emblem alarm idea and want one to practice on

I have the star piece, but not the bottom bit with the spring.
Last year, some little ba***rd broke it off and left it on the wall.
Used it as a keyring for a while.
Will dig it out if it's what you are after :D
 
bit of a tip,if u are doign what i think you are doing...

if you wahnt to put a switch on it so it sounds the alarm - try using a motorcycle back brake switch - from the likes of www.vehiclewiringproducts.co.uk (might be com) - would be perfect...

Its the base bit i,m after

Far be it for me to ask but I couldnt help wondering why a used one from a wreckers would be no good to you if the budget doesnt allow for a new one. Or is this alarm idea only good on cars that have had front end collisions.

Rest assured that someone already invented a wiring circuit that sounds the horn when you pull on the emblem spring.
 
I've got the base bit spare from a 95 N reg Mercedes C180.

Pay the postage and its yours.
 
I have a perfect star apart from a stretched spring in the middle,can this be replaced?

:D I hope you are connecting it to the National Grid, just so that it gives any potential vandal a very SHORT sharp shock. :rock:

Good luck with whatever your planning. (auto concealing Star, a la Spirit of Ectasy??) ;)


Anyone else fancy a guess??

Regards,
John
