R171 wings - where to get?
Discussion
Hello all,
The OHs SLK (R171) is pristine except that there are the dreaded rust bubbles on the front wings where they meet the bumper.
It's a known issue. I'm not going to mess around trying to fix this, or use second hand wings, the rust WILL be back in a year, I know better than to waste time and money.
Does anyone know of a decent supplier of NEW wings at reasonable cost, or is it face the inevitable and buy from Mercedes?

Join the MB club for 10% discount from certain main dealers and give them a go.
My 129 SL front wings direct from MB were as cheap as anywhere else, with the advantage of actually fitting without faffing around with them.
I fully agree with replacing wings though; replacement is the way to go. What you see on the outside is always much worse on the underside.
