OEM Spare Tire Cover Source?
Backed into a tree yesterday.
Need a spare tire cover in black.
Anyone have a spare? Or know where I can get an OEM piece?

Dealers sell them via parts department and they are shipped unpainted. There seems to be a cottage industry on ebay of fiberglass replacements that are delivered painted. I'm in need of one myself and have been waiting to pull the trigger. I'm probably going to order one of these fiberglass replacements and see what happens as these things get dinged all the time and don't feel like going through insurance to replace it.
Curious if anyone else has actually purchased an aftermarket cover?

I have my original one in the attic, in capri blue metallic (tanzanite blue) in very good condition, no dents. Doesn't have the Mercedes logo on it, just the plain cover and stainless steel ring. If interested.

So my tire cover was just backed into at the car wash. I have been looking for replacements, and you just so happen to have a Capri blue one! It is not still available by chance is it?

I am not in texas unfortunately, I am currently located in Boca Raton, FL. The chrome rim of mine is fine, it is just the painted blue cover part that got side swiped. Not sure if you are willing to just sell the cover or if you were looking to sell both together.

Sure, I can sell just the cover, here it is... (not scratched, reflections). You'll need a MB Logo insert, perhaps you can use your old one if it's not damaged.
I took this off when the truck had around 26,000 miles on it. Couple hundred plus shipping?

Mine has the MB star logo (chrome&raised ) but does not have the lettering. I am guessing it is an aftermarket insert.?

haha just backed mine into a post. Alibaba has some in Carbon Fiber; I might try that if only because I'm afraid this might be a recurring issue. Some 'flexibility' might be nice.

I ended up purchasing DGI's truck earlier in 2020 and the new tire carrier he sourced (non-dented) for the truck only has the Mercedes Logo in the center. It does not say "Mercedes-Benz", so the text one may not be OE.
