Hi guys/gals, they seem to be a pit pricey on auction sites, so does anyone have a set they want to get rid of? Worst case I can order them from Germany cheaper than the top auction site, but I figured I would check here first.

FYI- my Passion came with the spoke wheels, but they were so bent up they didn't pass inspection and the cost to repair was more than what I paid for brand new steel wheels. The new wheels don't have the caps. If you have some, or know a cheap place to get a set I am all ears.

Thanks in advance.

I double the opinion on Autobahn Dismantlers in San Diego, CA I got my front end kit from them off Ebay, and a replacement antenna because I broke the mast taking it apart. They were great to work with, and the kit I got had everything I needed plus more! I found myself thinking I wish I had an item and I would find it wrapped up in the box, including a plastic baggy of misc bolts, and plastic rivets!! These guys are the best!!.

The auction aid it was for a 2008-2012 and I figured I would end up with the newer style front end. it ended up being the same style of my 2008 except for the painted lower part which is fine by me. I can't say enough good things about them!

Well I just ordered a driver side door latch mechanism from AutoBahn because the cable on mine was broken and as a result I could not unlock the door with the key. I recieved one promptly and when I opened it I noticed the door lock cable had the sheath broken. There wasn't enough plastic on the sheath to hold the cable with the clip. I imediatley e-mailed them and included a picture. I told them that I would try to make it work. Well a few days later I tried to install it and it would not work. So this time I emailed the parts manager that had placed his business card in the box with my shipment. I explained the problem and that I was unhappy over the situation. A couple of hours later I had an email back that stated he was showing my email to the guy that orignally sold me the latch. It's been 2 days and I haven't heard a thing. I don't know if they mailed me out another latch assembly or not, but a courtesy e-mail would have been nice. I was going to spend another $200 with them for the power window kit, but now I'm not sure.
UPDATE: Got an email from Autobahn and they are sending me another door latch. So if it arrives in good condition I am still considering the electric window kit and electric mirrors to COMPLETE my Fortwo to "LOADED WITH OPTIONS". It's been an expensive renovation that has spanned alomst 2 years to get this little car the way I want it, but the journey has been worth it.

When I bought my front end kit, they were a little lax on the communications as to when it would ship and arrive as it was through a shipper and I would have to go pick it up about 50 some miles away. And the latest about the headlight, still have not gotten it yet and not sure when it will arrive. I can only assume they are busy. I was told it shipped when they got payment. The car is done except for mounting the headlight and the front clip. (and of course paint which will have to wait for warmer weather) but for now it is sitting....

Thought I had set up two wheels and a hood thru AutoBahn, got a price from them, then.....,,.nothing. Would not respond. Don't care how busy they are, no excuse for that.

i got an antenna replacement from them last year, my stubby corroded and broke off when i wanted to put a regular antenna back in it's place. was tempted to get 4 fronts to run on, not sure i'm crazy enough to run on 4 tiny donuts, but it was a thought. they are a good source for parts.

I'm not interested in the black center caps, but @TheFadingTheory appears to be.

 

[TheFadingTheory]

That is correct. We have spoken via text and will probably work out the details.
