Could anybody furnish me with a part number to replace the centre caps on these wheels, please?Screenshot_20230406_232407_Samsung Internet.jpg
 
Cheers, chaps! Thinking black will be better with Obsidian paintwork.
Might also change the bonnet badge if not already black.
 
If it helps..

The difference is in the shade of blue, one is darker than the other:

Also, you can use a vacuum cap to pull them off while the wheel is in place and without damaging the rims, the part numbers are on the rear side of the caps.

The ones on eBay and Amazon costing a tenner for four are generally fakes (even when they have the MB part number stamped on them), the genuine ones will cost around £15 each.

Nothing wrong with the fakes though, no one examines the caps closely anyway.

Genuine do last longer than the cheap eBay copies.

If you want the ebay ones to last, give them a couple coats of lacquer before fitting. 👌👍

Not always the case, I've had a couple of Ebay sets last longer than genuine Mercedes ones.

Thanks.
While I like the plain black with star, I think I slightly prefer the wreath design for some reason.
 
Now ordered some from the bay of E. Thanks for the help folks.

Next job, find a black bonnet badge to put on. Seen several already. Not sure if better to buy genuine. I presume the old one can be removed with a trim tool?
