W203 C55 AMG
Designo interior package?


Designo chair

Has anyone ever heard of a designo package for the w203? Just recently came across a c32 2003 Amg with the seats that looks like the regular c32, but has a designo logo, instead of the amg. The shifter also says designo and the leather cover is purple.

Never came across this in my life... Does anyone know about this?

Yea ive seen them but never in person. Its a little less common on a w203 especially the c55.

The w202 c43 comes in a lot of designo options, orange, burgundy, green, red, blue.....

It's actually a thing? I did not know that. I thought it was some bootleg rubbish. Is this company a part of the Mercedes division, like Brabus or Lorisner?

They are out there. Basically it is different color options for the W203. Nothing too crazy. The colors can sometimes get a little wild but it is cool! Looks like that interior needs a professional detailer.

would it be a dumb idea if I swapped the seats out to an OEM amg seat? The colours are ugly imo

Probably, they are rare on all cars. Id say the most common is a w208, ive seen more of those than any others. Its not exclusive to amg either, ive seen non amg models with designo package(usually just interior)

Current: C217 V12TT AMG Previously: C55 AMG, SL65 AMG
designo is Mercedes' version of the optional interiors, normally coded as the highest level/most expensive interior option.

You can also special order nearly anything with AMG and they'll label it as designo (but beware that anything custom is normally extremely expensive because it's basically outsourced)

Yes, if original, designo is legit MB
