May I ask what the diff is with the sun visors? If the concern is the Warning Label, I was able to remove mine without any problems it took some time and elbow grease but I was able to remove it cleanly

Guys, sorry for no update here. I had a last minute business trip to US and won't be back in Europe until mid-next week. Console has arrived at dealership and upon my return to CZ I will post:

1. Pics of both consoles side-by-side for review
2. Pics of new Euro console installed

Then I will post list of all members who want the unit upon review and order them next week. I will send PM to each confirmed person asking for shipping address and preferred payment method. Sorry for delays here.

Dave, Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

Guys,
Finally back in Europe. Console is at dealership and will have installed on Monday. As promised, I will send pre/post pics and make sure that everyone can see the unit before confirming they want the console. Sorry for delays here.

F&%$*N SWEET! The only things I wanted to change about my C63 (when I get it) is this Euro Console Cover/Leather Armrest and I wanted to swap out the US spec RED blinking LED tails to the EURO spec AMBER blinking LED tails... dont know if it would be an exact swap, anyone know????

YYZ-E55

Direct swap, no issues.

Is there a write-up somewhere? I searched but couldn't find anything...

Guys, very sorry for the delays here. Things have been nuts. I picked up the console today and have attached pics for you all to review. Sorry about the quality of pics. I did not have chance to install it yet as I have been busy doing other mods and I need the car for a weekend trip so I have delayed install for a few days until next week. For those of you who have expressed interest in the unit, I wanted to post pics of unit stand alone before install so all can see it and make sure that this is what they want. I would say the quality is ok, but I am constantly amazed at the poor quality of all MB OEM parts. I will install next week and take further pics for those of you who want to see it installed. Sorry once again about delays here.

dockt

thanks for the pics. is it nappa leather like our seats? can't tell from the pics.

harrower

It is made of the same leather as the OEM version in the US. Not sure if this is Nappa or not but has the same texture and feel as my US spec unit

Harrower, any luck with install yet?
So, that part number that we're looking at in the picture, did it ship as a complete unit with the roller door, truss, upper cover, etc...? we're there other part numbers involded? (i assume the cupholder insert is separate).
thanks!

harrower

I will be doing install over weekend and will post pics once done. The unit shipped with everything in pic except the cup-holder insert (which I bought seperately online) which is unusual as usually you need to order the door and upper cover as seperrate pieces - they were priced at $50.00 or so a piece. Since this was bought thru dealership it looks like MB supplies the complete unit and parts as if it were to be put into new car - not sure of this but have confirmed that the unit with these parts would be what be shipped when ordered

superlubricity

Thanks, harrower. I'm ready to order!

dsr123

Me too. Looking forward to this upgrade.

harrower

Sorry for all the delays. Attached are pics of installed unit. If this meets your needs on fitment and quality of part, let me know and I start taking the orders.

Love it! I'm ready.

HBC350

Count me in as well. I need a black one.

HBC350

OK, so I'm coming in at the tail end of this thread so accept my apologies for rehashing.

Can anyone here say with any certainty whether the part at getmercedesparts.com is the same item... leather and all? Also, what is the part number of the divider that might keep your Big Gulp in its rightful place? I'm ready to go here. That might be the best $300 I've spent in a while.

harrower

here is who I have at moment. Please confirm that you want to move forward. If there is question mark by your name then you have not indicated what color you want. Contact details would be ship to address. Please send me PM so we can address payment and shipping. Please see thread history on this.

I am assuming that because many folks appear to be putting Dave through a lot of work on our behalf, the parts available here through getmercedesparts.com are not the same as what he is getting in CZ. Am I correct in this assumption? If not, and the parts available here are the same, why are we making Dave work so hard?

harrower

I can't say if the part is the same. I posted pic with the MB box which has PN# so you can cross-reference it that way against part at getmercedesparts.com

The drink divider can be bought at https://www.getmercedesparts.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getJointLocator&siteid=214660&cha pter=&Sectionids=0,2648&groupid=2648&subgroupid=26 53&componentid=0&make=67&model=C Class&year=2008&graphicID=5777260&callout=12&catal ogid=2&displayCatalogid=0

I bought mine through eBay Germany as it was simplier for shipping and import reasons. No fitment issue.

harrower

No work at all. If the parts are the same, then it is up to members to do what they want as far as getting the console through me or at the site. Might make more sense through the site if they are the same part. Alot of people wanted Euro console and it was easy to get here and fairly cheap. Just an offer to help out. To be honest I find MB in Europe easier to deal with than in US. They order me whatever parts I want and never question it. Changed out Airboxes no issue. They even install them. When I was in US, the dealer (in MD was always a pain saying we can't do this or that for company policy reason etc etc)
