WTB: Center star of 230SL
« on: July 07, 2019, 09:08:13 »
I am looking for a steering wheel center star from a 230SL.
The ring of the star has a smaller diameter than the later ones.
The plastic must be without any cracks.
The paint at the back may be in a bad shape, I will respray it anyway.
See example:

Again something else.

Keep trying, patience can be rewarding. Just wanted to let you know that at least there is availability of the item.

Good luck.

The plastic degrades over time so most used ones will, or may soon, have cracks. (but perhaps they hold up better in cold & dark countries :D)
So I think the new price is not so bad, though the high shipping price is disappointing.
