Wood center console pieces free if you want 'em

I ordered a center console with the switchrow filled out (except for the Distronic, I believe) for my silly project to swap out the switches on my coupe with a set that are more complete. Just hate the look of all of those blank switches.

Anyway, I ordered it from Potomac Salvage, and they f*cked up the processing of the order. To compensate me, they cut down a few plastic trees, and sent me a dizzying array of trim pieces.

None of which I need, since I've already got the Mystic Blue designo trim pieces.

Which means it's time to chuck them, or offer them up to anyone who could use them (all pre-facelift W203). I have three of the trim pieces that go around the radio and two of the pieces that go around the shifter in front of the armrest.

Prices go from free to $5,000, depending on your personal deuschbag factor. If you're interested, let me know, and I'll ship them out - need to get some of the parts out of my apt; it's embarrassing.

I think the actual color is "Rosewood", if memory serves. You know, the reddish-they-never-made-real-trees-like-this wood.

OK, I'll do that tomorrow, but it should be pretty self-explanatory.

Installation is extra.

Please & Thank You.

Ok, here's a pic; ignore the mess.

Trey, I believe it's the same color "wood" as in your link.



I believe that these are all from sedans. I forget if they are the same as for the coupe, or even if the coupes came with the option of wood trim (I hope not!).

That's very nice for someone that already has the interior or wants to add a little uniqueness to his or her car.

If any of the shifter pieces are still available, and with no damage, i'd like one to replace my cracked one. Will exchange for a genuine new MB coat hanger?

Geez, didn't know there were so many tightwads driving around with awful-looking interiors.

OK, here's the deal: one set is now spoken for, but the rest (meaning - two radio surround and one shift surround) will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis (you reimburse for UPS shipping, and no, I don't want to wrap them myself to save you a buck or two).

Radio Surround Piece
1) pcy
2) OPEN

Shifter Surround Piece
1) samaritrey
2) edgarinho10
3) LPBenz19
4) eesjunin
5) fookoo303
6) RumbleUK

Thought there would be much more demand for the stereo piece than the shifter piece. What are you people doing to those poor shift pieces??

So, Trey - let me know if you want the piece and PM me shipping info if you do. If you do not want it, it will fall to egdar, etc., etc...

And if anyone needs the radio surround, I'll hold on to it for a while longer before tossing it.

I think you need a correction in the statement above. & not to sound like a dick or anything but you can skip me on this. My car isn't working yet and I think it would be more beneficial to someone else. Thanks though!

Damn, reading sure is fundamental.

Since Trey has now said that he wants the shifter piece, it's done, and I have no more to give out. Trey, PM me your name and address, I'll ship it out on Wednesday (seeing ZZ Top in NYC tonight so won't be back home til tomorrow night), and then let you know how much it cost.

Someone also claimed the remaining radio surround, so I'm all out of plastic wood. Thank you for playing.

Ok, parts were just shipped out for the winners.

Will PM with shipping costs and where to send reimbursement.

As far as the coat hanger, you're on your own.
