Pls help. Is an Orion grey '03 seat vinyl color the same as '07 Alpaca grey?
Found seat cushions from an '03 W203 that are referred to in the EPC as Orion grey that I'm thinking of purchasing for my '07 which is called Alpaca grey in the EPC. The color of the potential purchase cushions in multiple pictures look absolutely identical to mine, unlike color swatches of the two color names I've seen posted online. Does anyone have additional insight into this? I don't want to get stuck paying shipping back and forth, but I can't get over how identical they look even in different shading conditions in the photos received. I know with the '07 the factory refers to the interior as "Ash" in brochures with different shades of grey actually in the car, so I'm wondering if there is some similar situation with this

I've tried calling MB USA multiple times before and find they just give flip answers to get rid of you. Getting into examples aside, for the most basic, simple things they can sometimes provide an answer, but for anything even remotely involved and you press them they are fairly incompetent.

You can call a dealer to have them run the VIN for you, or you can look up the data yourself by going to Mercedes Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) and input your VIN and pull down the data card for the VIN
