Designo poplar trim in a c32?

Saw the C55 poplar trim for the first time last night... hot damn!

Searched and saw a few threads about swapping wood trim from a 320 into a c32 but did not actually find pictures. I'm assuming its different trim entirely? Aside from trying to retrofit an entire new c55 interior, what's it going to take to get that poplar trim in my new C32? Its downright beautiful!

Yeah, it really brings the car up a level in my opinon, I'm not fond of the perforated faux aluminum (mine is slightly dimpled already).

05C55, do you know if this style of trim is new in '05 for the c-class?

Your car looks great.

Wow, looks great. 05C55, was yours an aftermarket swap ?

I would love to have that installed in mine. Currently have the silver trim.

No his is an actual C55, the designo poplar trim was is an option.. I did see a pic someplace of birds eye maple in a C32, but haven't seen this in there. I think i'll call my local mb dealer today and see whats up.

Birds Eye maple was never offered in the w203 series but designo cinnamora was and still is which is very similar to Birds eye maple except for the grain. I have installed Designo Cinnamora in my c320. http://homepage.mac.com/drsunilpatel/PhotoAlbum14.html You can get Poplar for a c32 also but you cannot order it in the USA. I got mine from Germany.

Thats not true, I did see a C55 with factory birdseye maple and the owner has posted here on the forum. Maybe it was limited or discontinued but it was available at one time.

Sunman,

Wow you have done some beautiful work on your car! I love the Cinnamora wood, it's incredibly elegant. I wonder what it would look like on the darker charcol interior. If I understand you correctly neither the Cinnamora wood or the Poplar are available stateside (edit: for the c32 specifically)? Can you maybe pm me the details of where you picked it up and how much it cost?

Many thanks for the great post

When I said Birdseye maple not for the 203, I should have mentioned the older 203's and not 05 cars. I am not sure if it is available for 2005 or not.
