Hey I just got a w201 that has pristine looking leather interior, however it's blue. And blue is not my favorite color. I have access to a w202 all black interior. Has anyone ever swapped a w202 interior into a w201? Will it fit? How does it feel after? I"ve seen the video of that c36 w201 but these russians can do anything. I need some tips and if possible a DIY guide. Please help

Blue interior? I'm not sure but have never seen a blue interior in person, so I would think it might be rare (?).

I second that, I would check the vin plate (and the plate on the front under the hood with the holes in it) and see if its original.

yep car is all original, vin number and the color code plate all check out. I can sell it to the right buyer since it's rare lol. anyways i'll most likely be just replacing the steering wheel, and the woodgrain panels with faux-carbon-fiber. For some reason i want to get white dials in there as well.

Hi,nop you can`t fit an 202 interior in 201 at least no straightahead you have to do a lot of cutting and is better its own interior, instead you can dye it ,clean it ,sand it,clean it very well an then a new colour , you need to sand ad clean it several timesif you want to have a good job and most likely you like it black,don't you

I gave up on that idea of swapping the interior. most likely will swap the engine of a c36 along with the exhaust system. not sure if c36 amg can run on regular 5 speed manual transmission though

Not sure if it will bolt up to the tranny (might need to fit a machine shop bill to getthe an adapter plate of some type done) but I have heard rumors of a 3.6 version of the 201 that was done by brabus, from what I gathered, its the bottom end of a c36 mated to the jetronic fed 300E top-end. Something about using a c36 head gasket and everything is plug and play with some a/f mixture adjustments, may be a lot easier then trying to install the fuel system from a c36?
