D'oh.  The "vallance", according to Mercedes' computer, isn't the bit I wanted.  I couldn't actually work out what it is, but it looks like the central section of the bumper.

The bit I need is... a spoiler (I wouldn't have called it that, but Smart do :P) and it costs..... £290!!!!

Well, I'll be living without it for a few weeks.

Anyway - this is what's left of my car.  I drove by on the way home; the badger was all over the road, but my spoiler was nowhere to see!

About the price - but not the part :P

So sad, Brabbie looks kinda... pants without the spoiler!  And it's not like I'll ever find one in a scrapyard.  I'll have to pay, but I'll paint it myself.  I reckon paint it silver, and maybe wrap some/all of it in carbon fibre.

OK...so I made a slight boo boo...  I should have called it the Brabus Rear Apron...

Of course, MB may well call it something else.....as usual.

The remains of mine seemed pretty well glued/clipped on, but I can see why it would be easy to lose....

How come you're selling your's?  I might just appreciate it.
