Advice please
Hi folks, new to the world of MB. Bought a used C230 for my wife and the first day she drove it to work, someone took her stubby antenna. Called the stealer and they wanted $50 for one. Any suggestions of sites where I can find parts? I'm a pretty good shade tree mechanic and plan on doing most of the maintenance myself. I appreciate any info you can send.

I can't help you, but I have to ask: Is there a typo in here or is the thief really holding the antenna ransom for $50?

Sorry to hear about your loss. You should try in the w203 forum since you have a w203.
