Where to get fleece filters?

Just last week I decided to stock up on some filters for the c230. So I go to AZ autohaus, always had good experience with them, and order up 5.
I see Hengst and Mann as choices.
Coming on here I know Hengst has the paper filters and I think I ordered it once and it was paper. So I go Mann, today I get my shipment and I have a box full of the paper filters with Mann stamped all over them.
What happened? Do they not have the fleece anymore?
So I either return them all or just do short interval changes.

Want to see if any of you guys here can recommend a place to get the fleece filters .

THE C350
where the hell have you been. i don't even have a c230 and know that Fleece filters are next to impossible to get for them in the great USA. thank god i have a c320 where i can go out and buy all the fleece filters i want

all kidding aside i did read that someone found a place to get them but i think the stock got depleted. last i heard some c230 owners were going to get a guy going overseas to bring back as many as he could. btw does anyone know if they are available in Australia? if they are i might be able to help out the c230 owners.

MANN fleece filter should look like this on the left. and just read the link above by REX. you'll see that you can't get 271 fleece filter at least in US anymore.

Indeed. The SA at RBM Mercedes of Atlanta said that their particular dealership had NEVER used fleece on the M271 and he was a tech back in 2003. I gave up.

And to think I thought I knew what was going on by following threads here. Guess I have not been paying close enough attention. Well if paper is all thats available then I guess I have no choice.
Thanks for the update guys.

lol you should be happy you don't know what is happening on here. i think there are three types of people on here.
1. guy at work who instead of working surfs the web.
2. guy who works all day gets home and just wants to relax reading about cars.
3. guy that actually has a life or naggy wife to keep him form sitting in front of computer all day everyday.

and could someone get me the pn for both the m111 fleece filter and the m271 fleece filter. i want to send an email to someone i know who might be able to get some for me.
