Hi All,
Liza here from Australia.
I’m new here and would just like to say “hi” to you all.
My nephew put me on to this forum as he thinks this is a great place to get help for any issues I may have with my car.
I own a 2001 MB C200 kompressor in Heliodor green, that I bought in 2013, and absolutely love. It being 22 years old though, I would like to upgrade, repair and find parts for broken, damaged or missing bits.
However, I am not sure of part names and numbers and would appreciate and love any help that members on this forum can give me.
my thanks in advance,
Liza.
Speaker cover. Left door. Right side seat control cover. Driver’s side window switch panel.
Welcome to the forum. Your car is a rare one. Over in this part of the world (North America) the colour was called Citron green.
The parts you need should be identical between MY2001-2004. In NA the pre-facelift car was only sold in MY2002-2004.
PNs below should be correct, but do your homework and verify. Obviously I can't guarantee accuracy.
Take a look here for door trim parts. I recently replaced the same speaker panel cover. PN should be 203-727-03-88-9051. (9051 is the colour code for anthacite (very dark green, almost black) plastic - the dealer over here told me the original greenish one is discontinued)
The window switch plastic trim would be something like 203-727-05-28-xxxx. (xxxx being the colour code, give the VIN to the dealer) PN can be found in the same link above. I would like to say the trim colour xxxx is also 9051 or 9B51, but verify on your own. Your car is RHD, so the PN above is probably incorrect as your R door would have 2 window switches instead of 1 for the LHD cars. Hopefully the PN will point you in the right direction though. The dealer will know for sure.
The cracked seat trim unfortunately needs to be replaced in pairs. The broken piece in your photo "hooks" into the adjacent piece, and they've changed the hook design over the years so the adjacent piece can't be reused. The good news is the new pieces appear to be made of a more flexible grade of plastic compared to the brittle original stuff. You'll also need new fasteners as they changed the length of the screws. The trim PNs are 209-912-23-30-xxxx and 209-918-31-30-xxxx. The (new) screws with the correct length should be 001-984-59-29. You'll need 2 of them.

Many thanks for your help ! 😊
”Citron” green, huh ? Makes sense, but not as elegant as a “Heliodor” which is a lovely yellow/green gemstone.
I will take note of your recommendations re the parts and let you know how I go.
Much appreciated. 🙋🏽♀️

Hey slammer111 🙋🏽♀️
looking for the replacement for the cracked seat trim on the one parts site you’ve referred to and I can’t see the 2 parts you mean.
However it seems that MB have replaced them with one whole piece instead. Would this be correct ?
… also mboemparts site does not list my car in the parts site.
mine is a 2001 MB C200k, (w203)
I’ll go back to their site and see if I can put in the part no I have, to see if they can match it.
thanks for the help ! 😊
So. Just been on the oemparts site and I can’t find the model of my car on there either !
I don’t understand… how have you got your information buddy ?
The seats are identical between years MY2001-2004. Just use MY2002 if in doubt.
The 2 plastic seat pieces are 209-912-23-30-xxxx and 209-918-31-30-xxxx. Just look at the physical seat. The hinge part is actually 2 plastic pieces, fastened together by 2 screws. You have to replace both because one piece hooks into the other piece (you can't see this until you separate the 2 pieces), and they changed the hook design so that older pieces have different hooks compared to newer made pieces, despite them having the same PN. MB are notorious for this.
Personally I had both L and R sides destroyed over the years by rear passengers kicking the pieces on the way out. I'd honestly recommend replacing the other side as well. They used the wrong grade of plastic on the earlier versions.
