Finally here it is. Sorry for the quality of the pics the car didn't arrive till night. in

 

back seat

 

door panel

 

omg, that looks fantastic!

i'd go for black/dark blue - like the AMG seats, but i really like the light color stitching! i may have to get it later just b/c it looks so good!

also, can they add a subtle MB logo at all?

 

It looks good to me. Are you happy with the job Classic Soft did?

 

Nice leather! If I ever get enough money I was thinking of doing something similar with my car, but with blue and grey leather. For now I've just got the oyster cloth, I really like it despite what some people say. It goes well with the orion blue. How much did the who thing cost, if you don't mind me asking?

 

It looks like the C230 but the little pic in the corner looks like the mighty CL.... hmmmm.

 

WoW...that looks dooooooooppppeee....good job.
I WANT ONE!

and the pix in the corner lokks like a "SL"...but i could be wrong

 

it's a c230 and the pic is the mighty SL I must possess one.

 

i, too, must possess one (not the same one as benzomontererery)

 

I really like the two tone seat bottoms, with the darker color at the front... I expect it will be easier to keep clean that way. And the contrasting stitching is a nice touch, too. Also, for what's it's worth, I like the door panel work better than MB's own "pleated" look. Very nice, indeed.

 

The total price was 1730.00 They picked up the car did the work and returned it to me. Took 1 week. They have great color options on their site. I did this through a direct classic soft trim facility. Sometimes better than an independent I think.

 

Does Classic Soft have a website?

Thanks.

 

classic soft trim

also, they have a "car club" link which includes the Mercedes club but i have no details about what that gets you. a discount maybe?

also, here's the link to benzo's previous post showing the pattern
CST pattern for C230coupe

 

The leather door panels are not "pleated" on the coupe. They are fitted like the Classic Soft panels.

 

tommy, here's our answer from a couple of months back...

They do a pretty good job too and would not cost you a fortune. I think you have to purchase through a dealer and this one of them

hope this helps to anyone interested.

 

Benzomonterey,

The interior looks awesome. I just realized something though - your shifter is gray/black. Did they change the leather around your shifter as well as your shifter knob?

 

my shifter came with a black boot and shift knob on the oyster colored interior.

 

Say, how do the side airbags work with the new leather panels installed? Is the leather perforated at a seam or is the whole panel suppose to pop open when the airbags go off?
