New to the MB world

I just bought my first MB last week and it is great to find this site. I've learned alot just reading this forum and answered several questions I had. You guys will see me on here a good bit, just don't hate me if I ask a stupid questions now and then.

With that being said, where can I find a good source for minor items/components to "freshen" up my car? They are just minor details that are expected on a 5 year old car. One item I am looking for is the plastic cap that covers the antenna on backside of car. Dealer wants $135.

Congrats and Welcome!

You'll find a wealth of information here from the most experienced sources available... the owners themselves.

One thing you must do first though... you must POST PICTS!

To find your part you might try germanstar.net (it helps if you have the OEM part number)

Good luck and Welcome!
