C300 Piano Wood looks TERRIBLE!

2015 with 35k. Center console looks horrible, dull scratched and totally bad. Any overlays or replacements?

Anyone had this replaced under warranty? Peeling around cup holder trim also...

It does look horrible after a while. I changed mine out to the OEM black ash. Here’s the thread that helped me make the swap.

Thanks. Also the aluminum around the cup holder cover is peeling.

Anyone had this replaced under warranty with luck?

My silver trim around the cupholder is cracked on the left side & is pretty sharp to the touch. Will have to see if I can get them to replace it next time I'm in.

Anyone know if it's a removable piece, or if it's molded into the surrounding trim?

It didn’t look good even when new very plain and the doors were like metal plates. I heard it scratches easy and opted for the open pore wood, super easy to maintain and doesn’t scratch. I don’t know why MB would use it.

Easy swap out

I bought my C43 two months ago with the open poor black ash. I've replaced it with the OEM carbon fibre uint ($3K!! ouch) I have a brand new open poor black ash with the oem clock for sale US$500 if your interested. it took me about 1/2 hour to change.

I had mine replaced under warranty, no questions asked! My window buttons too.
