Where to find - Wood Shift Gate

My 98 C43 does not come with it. Does anyone know the part number and/or where to find it?

Thanks,
-DC43

Hey David,

Are you pointing out what you don't have, or what you need? I think my 99 is wood in and around the shift gate. Try autoclass.net-Rey Gaston is real helpful. There out of Florida.

Whats the word on our C43 get-together? Looking forward to it. BTW-got any pics of the M3? Would love to see it.

I am looking for that piece

Na'im,

Thanks for the info. That is not my car. I am looking for that wooden piece to put in. Would look really great.

My buddy is getting his 190e-16v next week. So let's plan on getting the Bay Area W201 and W202 AMG cars together in the coming weeks.

I'm thinking of removing my wood, take some pictures of what you have, maybe we can swap.

I saw a place (website) that had replacements for that wood piece. There were black plastic (like 1997 C36), real carbon fibre, and brushed aluminum.

It was kind of expensive, but I got one.

Anyone interested in the site? I would have to go search for it.

Kwik,

I don't have pictures of my center console. However, it has the same matte black ring with a matte black shift gate instead of wood. Still interested in swapping?

We may be thinking 2 different things here so I'll try to be clear. Yes, I'm interested in swapping but I'm looking to swap someone for the complete wood kit, not just the piece around the shifter.

Is your complete kit the matte black?

Hey Na'im,

Thursday night is not good for me unfortunately. Would Saturday afternoon, say 3:30pm work?
