last part I need....airbag

I bought a crunched 2002 C32. No too bad a crunch - bumper, radiators, crossmember supports. Now I need 1 more part - an airbag for the steering wheel - black. Anyone know of an aftermarket source? New is way, way too expensive. I have a STAR system so I can reset any codes that are thrown, but I need to get an airbag.

Also, if I put in a new airbag and reset any flags that say the bag has been tripped, is there any way for the DMV guy to tell that the bag had been blown when I go for the rebuilt title?

Thanks

I don't think they will even check. Usually all you need to do is reset the SRS warning with star.

The airbag for all w203 will be the same as long as it's 2004 and back.

Here are a couple on ebay, only thing is that all of them seem to be gray not black or ash. I can't believe how expensive they are:

Here is a black one I think, you would need to email the seller:

Good luck!
