broken clk :(

Hi Guys

I am a new member of this forum. I am hoping help out with the repair of a 99 CLK320 - it has been hit "hardish" in the front (mostly panel damage, though the driver airbag has gone off). I am in the process of trying to source some good used parts (or new non-genuine?). I am located in Melbourne, Australia and would appreciate advice people can give on where to source parts.

Best regards

Steve

Broken CLK

Hi

Yes - I agree about the non-genuine parts... I was hoping to find some good used.

Anyway - will keep my eyes open on Ebay and the likes... yet again - any suggestions would be most welsome.

Is it worth me putting up a list of the parts we are looking to purchase?

Kind regards

Steve

As a fellow 99 320 owner, I'm of the opinion that the original body kit looks like *** and MUST be changed. To replace it with incredibly expensive OEM parts is ludicrous, mate.

Hi Guys

Thanks for your responses - Thrillkill, I do see the merit in a "updated" look - (what better opportunity!) I am a little apprehensive about fibreglass though.

BilOutcast - thanks for your post... anybody want to pick up a bumper from San jose north and send it to Australia? :P

Seriously though - thanks for all your feedback so far. Just FYI - here are some of the parts I am chasing:

*Engine Hood
*Bumper (complete)
*Airbag (Driver)
RHS Gaurd
Grille

Maybe Also

RHS Headlight
RHS Fog
Radiator
Air Con Condensor
Rad Support
+ other misc Plastic bits an peices


I have no doubt the will be other bits an peices though it is the first 3 I have listed that I am trying to source at the moment.

Cheers

Steve
