yes there is a way to upgrade to the aluminium trim. email Steve (MBenzNL) at s_krabbenborg@hotmail.com. anything you want OEM for your MB, thats they guy to ask. are you getting an 05? also painted door handles look sooo much better than the black. two members i know who had painted door handles, after they painted them, it looks 100x better. i say do both for sure.

Welcome to the forum.

Pricing/cost and availability/mod links. They will provide you with a wealth of info.

Welcome to the forum. I thought all C230K's come with the silver trim? The 240 has wood if I am not mistaken?

CitronC230K_03

the car may have had the wood option, ordered that way and he is not happy with it. just a guess

Wow. If I knew that you could order the wood trim with the sport package I would have. I was told I couldn't. I like the wood interior.. just a personal preference.

Or, he could be in Canada where they have more options for the c-class and where the 230K isn't necessarily an SS. He did mention "silver, like the sport c-class"...

by any chance does n e 1 know how to remove the trim my self?

CitronC230K_03

for an 01-04 yeah, but only the 3 center console pieces, you have to remove the door panels to get to the others.

does n e one know how to get my door hanldes off so i can take it to my paint shop guy to get them painted

CitronC230K_03

there are a few threads with removal instructions. Saprissa posted one of them i think.
