Good source for MB Parts

I am in the feed for a passenger side front fender well splash guard for me recently acquired 2004 C320 sport, item 8 in attached pic, but for the passenger side.

Anyone have any good online sources as to where to buy MB parts?

Many thanks in advance.

I buy my most of my MB parts from a MB dealer just outside of NYC.
Note that their shipping is expensive, especially for small dollar amounts.
But, I rarely have a small order. And, since they are "in NYC", with regular shipping, *I* get the packages in 1-2 days (in New England). Otherwise, iirc, regular shipping is ~3-7 days.

I also buy from:
https://www.rbmofatlanta.com/
They are also on ebay.
They seem to have better shipping prices, if someone is buying something under ~$200.

Both have a massive parts inventory.
However, rbmofatlanta seems better, and more experienced, with customers buying mail order.
So, I often just suggest them.

Good Luck!

Fwiw, for a part like that, I'd just google "buy MB parts", and check out those sellers and their total price.

I like my main two parts suppliers, because I *know* that I'm getting REAL MB parts, and not some fake China clone parts.
I've posted before about counterfeit auto parts - with links to government agency warnings/reports. It's been a massive market since the 70's. And, it's just getting worse.

Fwiw, wheel hubs, half-shafts, alternators, ignition modules, etc are all very high on the counterfeit auto parts lists.
And, the National Chain auto parts store have ?unknowingly? sold counterfeit parts numerous times, and have been sued. All it takes is a Google search.

Good Luck!

Since you are in Sacramento you might check out the recycling yards in Rancho Córdova. I was in Roseville on a business trip and decided to visit. I picked up a nice steering wheel for my car at MB International. That was about three years ago, but I expect that they are still worth a shot for situations where a used part is satisfactory.
