I got mine.

I'm really impressed with it. The flat steel section is 4mm thick and the tubular part has a 2mm thick wall.

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

I checked and the bad news is that they don't stock them here in Canada... so no sale.

The good news is that even as a special order from The Fatherland they are only $116 Cdn, which isn't bad for an accessory item such as this.

I'm tempted to order one to just have.

I ordered two, but the bolts (maybe it's the clips) are backordered and have to come from Germany. Can't wait to see these installed on my 300Ds.

Can you get one for the 126? Got the part number about 6 months ago from a friend who worked at a MB shop. Called the dealer and they told me the part was discontinued.

IIRC, the W124 and W201 skid plates are also NLA.

I am so ordering one soon

I ordered one last week from my local dealer for 76$

I think with shipping the Classic Center unit, it is going to be basically the same price.
