Possible to change the color of the seats and door cards?
I've always wanted a two tone interior. Currently I have ash grey, but would like to make the seats and door cards in either red or brown. I called Merc. and they said the skin for the seats is $1800 each without installation. Is there a cheaper, easier way of doing this?

Any reputable auto upholstery shops in your area should be able to do it. Turn around and cost would depend on the materials availabilty you choose. Some even do it with italian leather. I have a friend in the Philippines who does this kind of work. But, labor costs over there is a lot cheaper and workmanship is pretty excellent.

I thought the quote was outrageous, but when mercedes wants almost 4k, just for the SKINS of the two frontseat and not even the entire seat, without installation, it doesn't seem so outrageous any more
Does any one have an idea of where I can find interiors from broken or scrapped e coupes?

Not quite sure of the value. It has 30k miles and is a 2013 with p2, parking sensors and amg package
If I could get this price in the US I'd do it immediately. Do you think your companies would sell me the skin alone and ship it to the US?

mate, search on google for other local reputable upholstery shop other than the one that quoted you 20-30k. obviously hes trying to rip you off. not sure about pricing there but surely it shouldnt cost that much.
reason i asked for your cars worth is it might be around 30-40k and im surprised you didnt have a heart attack when the guy gave you a 20-30k quote to re-upholster part of your seats and door cards. if that was the case it might be better off trading your car with the one you actually like.
