Bonnet
The front edge of my bonnet needs attention, but I have a feeling it's been repaired before so i'd prefer to find one in better condition or even new.
Google tells me that the W460, 461 and 463 bonnets are all the same, is this the case?
Will my ventilation grille fit in a newer model bonnet?
I see that the part number has been superseeded many times with the latest being 4608802157, anybody bought a new one before from MB? How much was it?
The price at puch.at seems not too extortionate, but I bet the shipping is a killer from Austria. I doubt it'll be that price locally, but I can find out after the bank holiday.
Thanks,
Ben.
Think £1500 at MB
Puch shippig is usually OK but never tried a bonnet!
Not all the same.... the later ones differ around the front
Slam oanel and front end after 2010 are different
Early 463 will fit but rarely get broken for parts and most 460 ones will be as bad or worse tha yours, especally if from a car thats being broken
Bonnet Grilles are all similar altough early 460 has washer jet in the metal bonnet where later ones have it in the grille panel and 463 have the same as the late 460 until they went to twin washer jet in the grille... all interchange
PUCH is good value...
I have direct contact email for the ladies at PUCH (STec) and might be able to get a little discount and a shipping price if you need me too... even if you place the online order it probably will not give you a shipping price anyway.... PM me if you need help
Bare bonnet from puch is €644+vat, puch won't post to uk due brexit, find a mate in eu to get it posted to.....
Ben ,
The G Centre in Holland have many used G bonnets in stock at €225 plus packing / shipping .
I've just bought quite a bit of parts from them and the shipping costs were very keen !
Good Luck !
PS. My car is a 1987 W460 300GD
