Swapping interior: Metal for wood, suggestions?
Looking to swap my metal interior for a wood grain finish.
Any suggestions on where to get the parts and how much its gonna run? What the names/part#'s I need? I can do the work myself, just need to find the parts for the right price.

I think, if you're upgrading, you should also think about carbon fiber paneling. There was a thread somewhere about the CF, but I can't remember the company off the top of my head. I'm going to get some sleep, but I'll look for it tomorrow. As for the wood, you might want to try some of the parts sties... rmeuropean, trademotion.
Off topic: Under "Drives" you have c203k. It's a w203 c230k. It just caught my eye.

it depends, i suppose its a c230 sport (2005), so you have the amg body kit, and sport wheels, why put wood with that ?
woods only good in bigger cars or with elegance package....
if you want to upgrade use some carbon fiber, search the forum for companies that sells CF trims... (full, not only overlay)

I am sure if you do a search, you will find pages of threads answering your question, specifically part numbers for the wood trim.

If I had a black interior which I don't I'd get the CF. Really. Dont get wood. Keep the metal. Its not that great.

The ash interior looks good with the gray wood or with the dark CF. Black interior looks good with the silver CF or the metal. IMHO
