Clk 500 convertible
Getting car today

Hello all.
I'm just about to buy a 2006 clk 500 cabriolet and I noticed on the inspection the left side (passenger) air intake duct is missing.
The right hand side (driver) is in place. Is it safe to drive about 25 miles like this or should I try get a replacement before I drive it home?
Many thanks in advance
Stevie

It's not a major concern. It just help keep int intake air cooler. I literally just posted the part number for these in another thread!

It should be fine. You will just be using air from under the hood rather than ambient.. It won't be as fast (), but you can get it home without any worries....

No worries, Stevie. I just thought it was coincidental that two people needed the same part on the same day. Welcome to the forum and congrats on the car!

Yes I was wondering whether we were both looking at the same car.

Drives amazing just needs a few things.
Worn arm bushings.
Brake fluid flush
Rear flex disc
Possible noisy power steering?
New 3rd brake light
Some kerb rash on the wheels. Paid $5.5k it is immaculate inside an out.
