Wheel Hub Caps

[midsomerjambo]

I lost one of my blue laurel caps for my 2010 C250 CDI (maybe nicked, maybe fell out - I don't really know but I suspect the former). I bought a replacement from Mercedes Parts, Smart Parts, Mercedes & Smart Spares and Accessories: online ordering, mail order parts, UK based site - PartsforMercedes-Benz for £14.98 plus P&P. It arrived in a bag with "Made in Germany" and the part number B66470120 on the label and the part number A170 400 00 25 stamped on the inside of the item. The thing is, the other 3 caps have the 3-point star raised up from the surface whereas this one has a clever holographic effect that at first glance looks 3D but on closer inspection is a flat surface.

I guess I'd like to know if it really is genuine but also, if I wanted a genuine one with the raised star like the others, where I might get it from.

Any suggestions welcome.

Regards, MSJ

It sounds fake to me. You can buy a genuine part cheaper from Merc.
