Exclamation Got into an accident - W203 Hood Needed! Help?

Hi All,

So I got into a fender bender with an SUV last night and my hood is all smashed in and a sight for sore eyes. Anyhow, I've been told that it'll probably be a better idea for me to find a used hood somewhere and take it in to a body shop for them to install. My current one is unfixable, unfortunately.

Does anyone have one lying around that I could buy, or have a recommendation of someone or some place (junkyard, parts, etc.) that I could buy?

I have a C240, but I'm guessing the entire W203 generation (C230, C32, C320, C280) EXCEPT the C55 will fit, yeah?

I could use the help! Thanks guys!

According to eBay sellers any w203 hood should fit on your C240 except c55.
You might have luck with http://www.car-part.com/ eBay or Craigslist

BLT you don't list a location in your profile so no one can possibly give you advise.
I know a good junkyard in Stockton I found on car-parts.com

Hey guys - Thanks for the tips. car-parts.com is actually really useful i found one and picked it up. I never knew about the website before and I appreciate the advice.

Oh and Frank - I might just need that one in the near future... But hopefully not too soon =P

Thanks all.

Cheers,

BLT
