V12 Side vent
I just got these new in box, As my old side vents are sun faded. But these vents have the V12 emblem in them.

My question is What car did these originally come from.

Part number on the box is A 230 690 06 36 9776

Thank you.

Sounds like the previous owner had replaced the vent with a standard one; maybe it broke. There is an ABC pulsation dampener behind the vent.

Where did you purchase the vent? I also have a SL600 and I might need a new vent.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure that those would have been factory on all Sl600s. My 2004 SL600 has them. I think the SL65s had them as well
