I doubt you can get them from a dealer here, but I'm sure you can find them online.
I can't imagine the appeal though, it looks terrible. I thought those moldings were for the cheaper trim styles that aren't offered in the US.

well, i was thinking of getting the rieger kit and the front moldings for that is chrome-less and un-removable i believe, so getting this would match the rest of the car to the front

That is a Classic. All Classic models come with chromeless window mouldings & impact strips right round the car. Also no chrome doorhandle caps or body colour
They are readily available at a price in Classic, Elegance & Avantgarde markets outside the US.

I agree - I would not put a sport pack on a Classic but then the Coupe had no chrome & some liked it so I guess it's personal. East London would put a sport pack on any model you wanted.

It's funny how some want to have chromeless moldings. My other W203 is a classic C200 and I'd love to have chrome moldings for that car since chromeless means 'standard model'/ lowest line.
Maybe I can trade with someone who's looking for chromeless?

I know what you mean, that bothered me about it too with them not matching. It would be a lot nicer if the rieger would just come with the normal impact strips with the chrome in them.

That's the only thing that made me changing my mind of getting the E63 Rieger front last year.

I know this is personal preference, but I feel like your car will be worse off that way VS the way it is stock right now. A total waste of money. Just my opinion.
