Have you tried merc themselves. No doubt they are complete rear quarters.

No good, I'm afraid. Only available as complete rear wings - retail bargain at Ł576+VAT. EACH!!! You can do a lot of fettling on the Ł30 repair panels for that!

The key thing isn't actually that bad and is the price charged by the factory.

We have to buy the electronic key and the blade seperately, and then have to finish the programming after the key arrives in case it were to be intercepted in transit.

Then the new key has to get programmed to the car and the lost or damaged key deleted from a "track" in the memory. Just don't make a habit of losing the keys because if all 16 tracks are deleted you will find out what a BIG bill can look like!
