Body Parts

Does anybody know where to get body parts for a 2001 C240? I have a friend that had an unfortunate tangle with a gas pump and she needs a new gas cap door. Preferably blue, but I guess if it is new it will have to be painted. Does anybody have any bright ideas?

Yea, haven't you seen the commercials. It started with letting air out of the tires and now it has gotten physical.

The real story is that she went to get gas and the pump delivered a small amount and then stopped. The station was apparently out of gas but hadn't marked the pump. She went to find someone at the station to find out what was going on and he told her they were out of gas. When she came back she forgot the pump was still in the tank and drove off. That caused a bit of damage to the door.

Thanks guys for helping. I was able to find all 5 parts for her for about $100.

is this one of those situations where the person is too embarrassed to admit they did something silly so they use the old "my friend" ruse???


jk, hope your friend learned a valuable lesson.
