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.

Re: Bonnet

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

Re: Bonnet

Thanks Gav.

£1500 is a bit steep, the puch price is less than half of that, but it's not in stock at the moment, so I can't add to the basket to see the cost of the shipping.

So if I were to go used, I need pre 2010?

My washer jet is in the bonnet rather than the grille, but good to know the grilles interchange.

I may just tidy the original one up for now.... though it's probably only me that notices it.

Re: Bonnet

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

Re: Bonnet

Are you saying that they won't ship big things like a bonnet? I placed an order at the end of Feb for some odds and ends, and there was no problem with that order.

Re: Bonnet

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 !
