Hi all,

Someone who I suppose felt like being a tough guy decided to rip the gold hood star off our E320 this past week, and not take it with him... instead he left it dangling from the steel spring that holds it in.

My father went to the dealership and they said that the gold star was a special production thing, and that they no longer make them, but we would need the full kit.

I'm wondering if what they are saying is true... from what I could tell after the whole thing was ripped out, the star was held down by a steel spring rod that hooked in to a latch at the bottom of the star. The star seems in perfect condition still, my logic tells me all that is needed is a new steel rod.

But, I'm not sure... my father got a replacement silver star package that I have not been able to see yet.

I'd greatly appreciate any feedback.

Thanks!
George
