interest for R129-style dashboard?

Hi from Germany!

Is there any interest to buy an AMG wood dashboard for W124?
Price for both parts top and down is 300 euro.
top is available for manual and automatic a/c.
down is available with seat heating and without.

That is how it looks like:

Post got a side view, it doesn't look like it would match the interior without the raised sides. Are these pieces plastic or wood?

I'd like to see those seats too, are they a type of Recaro?

Hey guys, this pieces are real wood, AMG manufactured.
Not any chinese plastic trash!

Their usual price is 2400,- Euro per kit.
But... It looks, like I haven't enough automatic a/c dashboards.

I ll get all the parts next week. I will inform u.

P.S. shipping to US is possible.

the seats are Recaro CSE.
But they are not mine.
I have usual Sportline leather seats in my AMG.

Here is a pic of the Recaros:

Hey Rouven, bist gar nicht mehr in deutschen Foren aktiv... Hast du mittlerweile deine Kollektion noch erweitert? Hattest doch den 500er und 2 Evos, gel? Die Teile bekomme ich demnächst, dann gibt's mehr Infos. Die Teile sind aber original. Gruß Rod

I have uploaded some photographs of the parts.
1 set includes: top, ashtray, down

I have only 1 top for automatic a/c.
So I need 1000 Euro for it.
Otherwise I ll install it into my second AMG.

If I hadnt an AMG with automatic a/c I would sell it for less


@Zorro

R129 parts dont fit.

they were AMG manufactured...

These are not AMG parts, if they are not direct R129 items, then they are aftermarket.

Anyone ever convert to manual controls? So these are "after-aftermarket", lol.

rusher, thanks for making these available. I'm sure someone with bank will buy them.

Now I'm wondering if any of those Korean w124 parts would retrofit...

Rusher, why are you laughing? AMG NEVER made those parts for a W124...show me pics, show me a catalog, show 2Phast an AMG part number. DON'T come on here and try to BS us members that know a LOT about these cars. I sure as hell will not pay $1500 CAD for something from an attempted rip off artist as your self.

LOL.

Well, thats a bit harsh.

These kits were available from many different sources, mainly from Asian suppliers and were popular upgrades on JDM Mercedes, probably sourced by the consumer and installed by them as well.

I have seen a few and they are nice and do add a nice touch to the interior.

I don't remember prices on these kits, but they do pop up for sale from time to time. I suspect though that most of these kits were for the euro climate control, hence the price variance. Were talking NOS stuff at this point, as these have been long out of production, so as supply diminishes, cost increases.

Hey folks, this is not any korean crap.
Even the W124 E500 from Michael Schumacher had this dashboard.

I just mailed to AMG customer center and wait for their response.
I will inform you, what they say.

P.S. @ Zorro: What means "BS"?
