Greetings all,
Another question for you experienced M-B o'philes prompted by the lack of a body service manual.........
What is the correct name for the 2 plastic air intake screens on the cowl of a 123,the ones under the wipers that serve as the intake for fresh air?

The passenger side one is broken and the driver's side is held together with what appears to be the oversized and pedestrian oozing from a hot glue gun, truly a disturbing state of affairs for an otherwise well maintained car.

Dealer part? scrapyard fodder or ebay find?

Thanks my friend, I'm afraid you credit me with more perception and experience than I possess. What is the number for this Fastlane?

They appear to be brittle black plastic, is metal interchangeable?

The EPC refers to them as 123 836 02 65 and 123 836 01 65.

At least that what it appears, to me. The parts list says only available in pairs. Hope that helps some. Haven't seen them on ebay; probably overpriced at dealer...wrecker's may be best if a good pair can be found.
