Can anyone direct me to a site where I can find an engine cover for a 2000
E55? The star on mine is starting to come off...and lets face it, that's no good. So any help with that I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

 

So than no one knows???

 

call Potomac auto parts, they specialize in mb parts, mind you they are used. It's a giant mb wrecking warehouse.

 

Can you not just glue it back in place? I got mine with the rag while cleaning it tonight and will try that myself in the morning.

 

Well, the chrome paint on it is also starting to chip. So maybe I can find a MB star. Do they sell them like that? Does anyone know?

 

Where are these guys located? Are they listed online?

 

Yes, they are online and I believe they are in Florida. They ship anywere for money. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the help!

 

.no problem, you may need to call them (upper right hand corner of site) because their search function seems somewhat limited.

 

Yea, that's what I'm seeing. Yea, I'll give them a call though. So they have a lot of parts do they?

 

..thats what I understand. They collect smashed Benzos.

 

ahhh! I'll have to go to them than, if the price is right that is.

 

Bump

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement star for the engine cover? Do they sell the mounting clips on their own? Part numbers?

I just bought a CF engine cover to replace my cracked OEM cover but the CF one does not have the emblems nor the clips.

TIA.

 

It's a pressure fit. Your best bet, if you still have the star, is to glue it from the old one to the next one.

 

Thanks, I was looking at my old cover earlier. I'll just reuse the old star and AMG logo. The old fishing line/dental floss method and new adhesive should do it.

I'm trying my best to use the old clips though but they're not complete and some are broken beyond salvage. Any pointers on getting new clips to use with the CF engine cover?

 

Bump...

Half my Star is MIA... has anyone been able to purchase just the Star for the Engine Cover???

Thanks

If you look in search I think one of the trunk lid stars (c class) sells for like $10 are the same size as the engine cover star. I remember reading the thread a year ago. MB only sells the whole cover with star and AMG on cover.

 

Looks about right?

What kind of adhesive glue should I use to keep this bad boy in place?

Super glue will hold it, but the next time you remove the cover it will flex and may break the bond with the super glue. Any glue that will flex will probably also melt from the heat, so you're in a bit of a catch 22. You could try epoxy, or just super glue it from time to time.

 

That's exactly what I was thinking.... does that part look right to you in the link?

Thanks Saintz!

I measured, 85mm is correct for the engine cover emblem. The E class back emblem is curved to accommodate the trunk contour. This eBay ad appears to be what you need. It looks like it isn't curved. It also has the three notches, which it needs to fit the engine cover.

 

Perfect !

I'm sure there will be others looking for this info as well

Thank you!
