FS: 3 OEM AMG Affalterbach Key Covers

Have 2 brand new, OEM AMG Affalterbach key covers. 1 is like brand new, but was installed on my back-up key so I’ll consider that “used.”

These things cost me between $100-120 a piece when I got them.

Willing to sell them for $50 a piece, or best offer. Buyer pays shipping (which I don't think will be much, fortunately).

A few pics:




Edit: Meant to post this on W204 C63 board but I’m guessing there are folks with pre-LCI keys that may be interested.

The 2 brand new covers have been sold.

The 1 "used" cover (was installed on a backup key, in perfect condition) is still available.

I’m interested. Does the black plastic have a matte or shiny finish?

My key sits in my inner jacket pocket and can't remember what it even looks like.

Many thanks to the mods/admin for the help cleaning up this thread!

Just to clarify something for those that may not know what these are, the pieces I'm selling are not are cheap, knock-offs from some third party vendor.

These are OEM pieces from Mercedes, and they used to sell for $100-120 a piece (and apparently still do). Reputable vendors still have them selling for much closer to that price.

I'm selling the OEM covers for people who want real OEM parts. Not cheap ones.

Kind of rude for you clowns to come in and crap on the thread. Especially surprising since you know the frustration of people derailing threads (like your Kleeman one).

The real ones are pictured in my initial post, and in this link:

And here is the MB part #, and the price if you wanted to order these direct from an online MB parts vendor ($168.75):

I’m selling genuine OEM parts for less than they’re currently being sold for elsewhere.

It would’ve been nice for you to apologize for not knowing the difference between eBay knock-offs and the genuine OEM parts (which is actually demonstrated further by a second link that I posted; apparently you missed it), but I guess that’s how you roll.

Have a good weekend man.

Can nobody sell OEM badges, spoilers, etc. at a higher price than knock-offs since they’re just trivial, non-functional bodywork?

To go and hijack someone’s FS thread and advertise other knock-off products is against the rules, I’m pretty sure lol.

Nor can I help that you can’t spot the obvious quality difference. Reporting you. Again.

question: how can you tell the difference between the cheap knock-off and the real thing OEM ?
i bought one like a year ago, the knock-off, on ebay.
the cover doesn't fit properly, the cover keep coming off and the emblem fated away after awhile.
it also comes with the box and that little piece of manual.

Do you still have the last key cover by any chance?
