If anyone buys them, I'll buy the dash speaker cover off the green car!
I need one and lost out on the only one I saw on e-bay.

Someone sees a low price Mercedes and buys it because he wants flash for little cash. The minute it goes wrong he realises that new parts for a $1000 Mercedes cost about the same as new parts for a $20000 Mercedes and it all starts going down hill from there.
