Noticed the back RH wheel plastic cap is missing.

Do any TK Members have a spare plastic cap please?

How much would one of the plastic caps be worth and would they be available from Mercedes?

Cheers.

Contacted Jax's tyres this morning they are going to search their workshop for the wheel cap.

Silver plastic cap if they can't find it I am sure a new cap won't cost the Earth from Mercedes?

I have a contact in the MBCNSW who might have a spare plastic cap.

Even my spare wheel does not have a plastic cap.

Thanks for the suggestion Brian.

Are you sitting down??

Mercedes quoted me $195.97 for the cap!
:eek:

Waiting to hear back from Jax's.

Search continues for another cap.

A set of four genuine blue and chrome W126 axle caps, with 'MERCEDES-BENZ' with wreath on the circumference, and central MB star will set you back about $140 retail, from Marshalls Motors, Parramatta.

I didn't buy. I had mine colour coded for free instead, with the star remaining in silver. ( I have 15" W126 wheels on my vehicle. The matching spare wheel came from a junk yard.)

If you need only a single axle cap, head for a junk yard. It shouldn't cost you any more than five bucks. When W116's were easier to find in junk yards, I was able to source quite a large range of body parts.
There is probably a dozen or more significant items that now live again, on my car.

Thanks SEL_69L,

Get a cap from a MB wrecker.

Just the plastic silver cap is what I am after not the wheel bolt.

Not after the centre caps Brian.

300SE already has MB chrome wheel caps.

In fact the caps are made out of steel come fitted with the wheel bolt.

Steel cap is silver in colour as stated previously.

Sorry Tim - I can't work out what part you are after. Perhaps take a photo of the wheel that is missing the missing part?
Regards,
Brian

Good news!

Have been to Jax's they fitted a bolt cap for me no charge.

Excellent service at my local Jax's.

Manager Mark said to me your car is in such pristine condition.

Now that is a very nice compliment!
