The fact of the matter is, that it would be hard to leave your homes clothed, w/o goods Made in Asian countries.

These days, I'm usually happy if I can find something that ISN'T made in China!
I just hope, regardless of where it's made, the 240D star I got from Mercedes doesn't peel and crumble after a few years, like that aftermarket one I got for my friend.
I would've gotten one from Mercedes for his '72 220, but they claimed that star is no longer availible separately. Only with the dummy radiator-cap - for more than double what I paid Mercedes for the W123 version.
I wound up giving my friend an extra OE star I'd scavenged from a salvage-yard W114. It'll probably outlast his car, if some dirtbag doesn't rip it off. Which is what happened to his original.
Happy Motoring, Mark
