eBay or go to the dealer and order the pillar from the 01-02 sport/C32 (not really cf, but they look cf and are metal)

are the door pillars easy to replace? I had "carbon fibre" er, "carbon optic" pillars on my old w202 and I really liked those. how much do these pillars run? I think I may get me a pair amg or non-amg logo'd

I remember seeing a C32 AMG Coupé with them back in 2003 on the MB-AMG website. They have since removed all indications that a C32 AMG Coupé ever existed.... Granted, there were only 30 of them ever made !

I would definitely NOT get the eBay CF stickers....

best bet is to go with the MB Dealer parts. You pay a little more, but they sure look sweet !!!
Wonder if the front ones, would fit the Coupé ????

Thanks !

Sorry to bring up a semi-old thread, but...Anybody have the part number for the OEM carbon fiber "look" door pillars? I'm getting tired of looking at the scratched up plastic.

I don't want to buy the generic stick-ons. I want the "real-deal".

T.I.A.,

phattbam, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, I don't know how they're attached, so I wouldn't be able to help you out on that. That's too much hassle for you, so don't do that. I wouldn't ask anybody to go through all that trouble for a part number. Thanks though.

It's not an urgent thing. I was just looking at my door pillars while washing the car and thought that at some point I want to switch it to the OEM Sport pillars/AMG pillars that were on older Sport models (carbon fiber look).

Anybody know the OEM part number(s)?

Question part #' s ???

Wish I could help here....
I'm also looking for the OEM (cf look pillars) but for the Coupé. Not sure if they are the same size / fit.

Below are pics of Frank's C32 b-pillars, that I took last month...
