Chrome ring for W211 (FL) highlights

[Guest st8800]

Any bros here know where I find replacement chrome ring part for W211 (2009 FL)? I need to replace the smaller chrome ring (surrounding the smaller highlights). A small part of it already turned yellowish in colour.

Was told that this could be due to polishing work that should not touch the chrome ring?

Bro... it's the outer chrome ring (outside the headlights area... not inside) that surrounds the smaller highlights. There is also one surrounding the bigger highlights as well. I think only later facelift or avantgarde model has it.

I will try and take a pic if u still dunno what I'm talking about.... :becky:

You mean something like the rings on the right located in my attached pic? if yes, I dun think this is original Merc items, mostly is aftermarket, you should be able to find them in e-bay, but I think it is market for whole set (2 small & 2 big rings), instead of single pc.

Yes.... those are the rings. I didn't know they were aftermarket as I bought mine 2nd hand. If have to buy whole set then maybe not so worth it. :Cry:

I bought whole set from Thailand at ~$52 , i think if you buy from eBay should be around $60 for 4pcs ..make sure that they are from Taiwan and not China

Hmmm eBay is a bit confusing on this... some merchants says 02-09 model and some says only 02-06. Same size for pre-FL and FL models or not?
