Just moved to FL where I'm hours away from MB dealer. The only good thing about CA other than weather...
The little 2" x 4" approx body color cover went missing. How do I get a part number for this little goodie and is there a website that can ship to me?
TIA

This is what EPC says:

A1668600408, cover headlamp cleaning system, colorless, left side
A1668600508, same part, right side

Is it possible the parts are sold without color and need to be painted by a body shop?

Thanks Chassis. Looks like I have to travel to the dealer.

You are right. Sold with primer only. I'm thinking the little 4" part which costs $103 will cost $400 if I let the dealer paint it. Any ideas for me. I guess get the part and visit a local paint shop. Gotta be cheaper than stealership. My ML 63 is pristine
otherwise I would just get some aftermarket spray paint in the right color and do it myself. I know it would look like crap tho.

Yes, take it to a body shop. Any competent paint shop can do this job. The small part may not be 100% color match, but:

a. will it be noticeable?
b. does it matter?

Order a can of each spray touch-up and clearcoat from www.automotivetouchup.com, you should be able to paint for the cost of the 2 cans. Remember that the sun fades paint so it won't be perfect but it's a separate part and should not be noticable. Now a good body shop can make up for the fading but it'll probably cost you a couple of hundred dollars.

Laying in bed last night I decided to order the color from that site. Didn't think about the clear coat tho. I'll do that. Thanks for suggestion.
