W204 c320 brake covers ? On the calipers

[jamie8954]

Does anybody know where I can buy the following they sit on the calipers I tried pulling mine off today whilst painting the calipers and managed to snap them as they were all corroded ?

Hi Jamie, I have the same problem with corroded covers, how are they held on? Thanks.

I'd like know too before I damage mine

they have 2x lugs that sit in a hole in the caliper , mine were that corroded that both just snapped when removing had to drill them out.

Phoned GSF this morning who said its a Mercedes part , phoned Mercedes who say they don't sell them suggested a breakers yard

Thanks for the update, good luck with the search, my thoughts are firmly with refurbing the ones you have (if they are purely decorative) and buying merc decals off eBay.
I am presuming that any stock at a breakers will suffer from the same issue.

out of interest what colour did you paint the caliper? sort of unsure whether to go for red or even maybe yellow

I went for red mate didn't want it to look to much but looks spot on
