| OEM Merc? Well i have seen some parts on EBay but i think for something like what your looking for its going to have to be the dealer. Not many places stock OEM stuff and the parts your looking for are not going to be popular so that would reduce the chances even more. Unfortunately the best bet here mate is the dealer if you think the one if over charging and some do i know then try another dealer see what they say.

| the thebenzbin.com are worth a try. please give feedback on your dealings with them. they seems to have a good parts list on site although I've not dealt with them personally. an example. I paid $240 for brake pads, they say list is $155 and they sell for 147$. like you said the dealers seem to rape most people on part prices.

| I bought the front black wings that are needed for the bumper conversion and I saw the cost of the part was $51.00 and they charged me $141.00 plus tax for each one so total was $282.00 plus tax for two little plastics. I know they have charge more but the triple???? |

| check with different dealers. Also include your location and and car stuff in your profile. If you are having a bad/good experience with your dealer, please write about it in the dealer review section we have on the site. this way if anyone else needs help in your area, they know what to expect. |

| They are charging you way too much there go to a different dealer markups should not be more than tens of dollars, hundreds is overkill and since your buying a few parts at the same time i would expect the markup to be lower.
