Default Any Mercedes Benz dealer/forums anyone know of?

Hey guys, just wondering if any of you knew of any club mercedes forums, are parts seller, like what we ClubLexus/Ltuned-parts.com have....

Cracked the front bumper today of a CLK 320....Need a stock OEM replacement a.s.a.p....Its the only thing thats cracked...Ill try to get pictures up soon....

Went to a autobody shop today just to get an estimate..Its apparently, $346 for labor, and than $561 in parts, and than $110 for additional costs....

Give me a break lol....

On the parts list, it has about $380 for Front bumper assemably, and 92$ for a bumper impact strip....

I'm hoping i'm only going to need to pay at most 380+92....

But anyway...if anyone knows any mercedes hook ups down near SoCal, or any websites...Would appreciate it...I've tried looking online but couldn't find anything good...

I used to work for Mercedes and would of helped you out to get the bumper at employee price.

I heard from car meets that Caliber Motors in Anaheim Hills offer wholesale on parts if you talk to the wholesale manager and say that you met him at a car meet.

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Mercedes Repair, brother. Open your heart....and your wallet.

You might try Olympic Auto parts http://www.forparts.com/profile.htm and see if they carry the M-B parts you need. They are a discount imported parts firm here in VA...and they be willing to ship some of the parts you need cheaper than what CA M-B dealers want.
