C43 AMG Breaking For Spares

[gurpz]

And exploding Batteries - Mine blew up in my old W202

Was it a genuine Mercedes Benz battery or aftermarket ?

Cheers gurpz, he says he had also advertised the front bumper (as a separate listing?!) But cannot find it....?

No problem gina but i have heard a few members say here that there service is bad and there prices are sky high for a breakers yard so maybe not worth it but no harm in contacting him to ask for a price

I may ask, but not sure if I'll be buying one after all, not sure about the hassle regarding new bumpers, I'd have to get the skirts and rear done too!

Not necessarily you could just get the the front bumper done alone if they give for a good price

If you do buy the front bumper, ask for the front bumper clamps (facelift) otherwise you will need to file down the existing ones.

Thanks!

it seems to have been removed? Ended early?

 

[KillerHERTZ]

Yeah, they sold the sills yesterday according to my email.

As well as the side skirts which I need to complete my C43 bodykit... gutted

Aah well, looks like I'll be buying brand spanking new ones from the stealer at some point.

Tsk, Dronsfields, say no more They sold me a really bad engine once. I returned it as it was not fit for use. Took 3 months and a number of abusive phone calls before I got reimbursed. The abusive calls were from them, not the sort of professional approach to customer care you expect.

I buy a lot of used spares as you can appreciate, and have deleted dronsfields recently from my phone book. Deliver is always late (and i mean weeks in some cases), half the time the wrong parts are sent and more often than not the parts are defective.

Its a shame as back in the 90's i used them very very regularly (mostly for engine parts and bits of trim) and they used to be great... they would even let me have the odd freebie now and then.

I wonder how they have got so big..
