I'm just wondering what type of plastic the side skirts on a W205 are made of. I've discovered a gash on the underside of the skirt fortunately it's under the shadowline so can't be easily seen. I know that I can weld it with my Dremel torch but I want to make sure that I have some compatible plastic to use as filler if necessary.
 
I have a similar problem on the offside oversill of my 968 and have been recommended to find a specialist plastic bumper repairer.
 
Universal welding rods are available from most paint suppliers. Try Brown brothers I'm not sure how they are can be comparable with all plastics but I haven't found one they are not comparable with yet. Most bumpers and skirts are PP+EPDM. The universal welding rods are a flat ribbon. Hope this helps.
