BTW, my 04 coupe has a slightly different tach than the ones posted here; it seems to have lost it's dust cover . Check it out. You think it's a difference between coupes and sedans or 02-03s and 04s?
Mine is the same, and I like it better than the sedan
The dash in the new coupe is the same as the new sedan and I like it, but I don't dislike my coupe dash

2005 230 Sport Sedan, Brilliant Silver, 6 Spd, Heated Seats, Sunroof, CDC, Flat Emblem, Clear Sides,
night time view

I have very recently purchased an 05 230 SS, but have never seen what the ****pit looks like at night as I do not take delivery for a couple more weeks. Does anyone have a pic of their 05 so I can view what the white will look like? Thanks in advance for the post...

same opinion here.

the '05's look too much like an AUDI or VW.
Nice, but definitely not classic MB.

'08 CLK320CDI AMG// '13 E500 Coupe AMG// '17 E350d AMG
a closer one

In Europe its only available with factory option Sport edition package (only appearance), not with sport package (bigger brakes,sport suspension,etc...)

actually, the Sport Sedans have always had the window-button trim matching hte center console trim. They won't fit the COUPE though.
My wife's 2004.5 C320 Sport Sedan has them.

I had Steve going crazy, trying to find something similar for the COUPE, including an AMG patterned aluminum trim that I saw 2 years ago. He wasn't able to find it though, and AMG denies its existence in true AMG fashion.

Well it was "wishful thinking"

Do you know if anyone has been able to find the matching carbon fiber? I wonder if the "coating" stuff one can buy would work or look like complete cr@p.

Performance Products sells a complete carbon fiber (black or silver) interior kit for both the Sedan and the Coupé. Very pricy $1,400+ It is made by some German company called MP Design.
When I've e-mailed them several times about the Coupé pieces, I've been ignored every single time.
If you look at the catalog, the Coupé window-button trim pieces don't look anything (in shape) to the originals. So, my question was if indeed anyone has even purchased a set, and how they're supposed to fit on the Coupé doors, since their shape was so weird and off-looking. No response.

That stuff for the C class at www.mp-des******** is only a sticker. Looks like a replacement part, but its not really. Its basically the same crap you can get off of E-bay for around $160 bucks. I have the brushed metal looking set for my current car and looks real cheap.

for some reason, I can't stand the Maybach !
it seems like one huge identity crisis.
Is it a sport vehicle, is it luxury, can't decide....

either way the combination of both is plain ugly !

Those are not '06 mats. Instead, they are the standard mats that come with all C class Avantgarde trim level. It is orderable from your stealership but it's almost twice as expensive as the regular MB mats.

Do you know where else I could buy these C class Avantgarde mats besides the dealership? How much do they even charge for regular mats at the dealership?
