Question Wood trim

Is it possible at all to order wood trim for a C32? Can't they just use the same trim from the C240/320 or something? I'm surprised that they only offer carbon fiber.

Thanks,

Tim

Who only offers carbon fiber? In any case, I think you can use the wood from the C320. The C32 comes with aluminum for a reason, but it's your choice obviously.

You can choose to have wood trim on a C32? I've never seen this as an option listed before??

Does anyone have a C32 with wood trim?

It's not an option, however most dealers will swap the aluminum trim with the wood trim, a lot of C240/320 owners want this done after they recieve their car.

I wouldn't want the wood trim because i have seen the wood trim in the C320 wagon loaner the dealer gave me last time. Looks and feel plastic although it's not.

But it's your choice. You can hav the dealer installed the wood trim aftermarket.

I tried to get pricing for wood trim but my parts guy would not spend the time to look up all of the part numbers. What a lazy piece of crap.

My aluminum trim is already dinged up on the shifter-surround. I wouldn't add it because it will look like crap real soon. My car only 2 month, but already dinged.

no idea! it just got dinged up from having stuff like my garage door opener sitting on it, but really... no good reason. I might go complain for a new set, or i might just replace it with some Designo-esque trim, like black ash.

Hi all,

in germany you cannot order a C 32 AMG with wood trim inside. Don´t you have "option lines" in the US like "Classic", "Elegance" and "Avantgarde"?
Only Classic and Elegance have wood inside. Avantgarde is always with aluminium inside.
And the C 32 has always aluminium cause it can only be ordered as "avantgarde".

The trim is the same as in the w203 sedan sport, but the trim is different from that in the coupe.

nope...our "option lines" are C32, and C32...hehe...we only get textured aluminum trim

antonio, the aluminum trim in the C32 and the C sedans are the Textured aluminum trim, and the on used in the C-coupe is the patterned aluminum. I think the patterned aluminum has smooth surface, where of the textured aluminum has textured bumpy surface.

Yo,

the avandgarde got that bumpy aluminium too.
The cheapest line is classic, followed by elegance.
The most expensive line is avandgarde.

Hey, i did 257 kmh (160 mph) on the autobahn right now
