Laura,

1.  If you are flexible about the appearance:  Fill with JB Weld.  Sand smooth.  Cover with a leather cover.

2.  If you want to retain the "look":  Find a similar replacement - does not have to be in good condition or complete.  Sand off the ugly surface in a small area of the replacement.  Using a coarse file, grind off a pile of plastic.  Get some clear epoxy.  Mix the plastic "sand" with the epoxy.  Smooth on the cracks in current wheel.  Sand to shape.  Sand with finer and finer grades of sandpaper until shiny.

(Option 2 can produce a beautiful result - I've seen the pictures.  But, I bet it takes a lot of work and time.  I would pick a section of the  replacement that looks like the damage on your current wheel - and practice repairing that section to find what works.)

Bobby

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Body and Trim Parts

 

are you talking about the corner light? do you have a photo of it? I might have a spare. it's bigger than the one I use on my W123 chasis car (300d) so I would love to off load it for a nominal sum.

On back roads at under 45mph it's possible to get extremely good mileage. My 300 TD goes from 20 to 25 when driving 55.  20 at 75.  LR

I use Marine Tex to fix wood and plastic items.  It is pretty easy to work with, it cures white and is can be drilled or sanded once it hardens.
