Driver's seat - new Mercedes leather

On the whole my C36's leather interior is in amazing shape, however 24 years of faithful service had created some wear/shine on the driver's lower leather. Not terrible but I found some new old stock oe MB leather for a great price.

Finished result below:

I believe you can get that leather piece from the dealer still ($500 +) but I got a great deal at oldbenz.co

FYI, the C36 used the w202 series standard leather seats (not MB Tex, which had a different pattern). Maybe they had more bolstering. In any event, you may be able to get that leather still from the dealer since it's more widely used than the C43s. However, may not be the case in the US/elsewhere other than Canada, where MB Canada has a stash of some NOS interior parts from the w202 series, like the white/black C43 floor mats.

The C43 used different seat leather patterns and are unobtanium/no longer available except on eBay, for example, as used parts.
