Two tone interior available?
Ive noticed on some 2000-02 CLK430 Cabrio's have two tone interiors (similar to CLK55's), usually charcoal and grey. Was this available on CLK430 coupes, and what years was it available if it was?
Im assuming it is fairly rare to find a two tone 430 interior.
Thanks

Two tone
the color combo your referring to is ash/dark ash
it was restricted to certain exterior colors and it cost extra (special order charge) + the option itself to have it...I think the two tone would have been almost $2k altogether. It may have also required the heated seat option in combination.
With the price for the V8 + cabrio and the extra charge for the two-tone it would rack up the price even higher - the two tone combo does look nice though.
There were three non-AMG (and non-Designo) two tone interiors offered:
Ash / Dark Ash
Charcoal / Red
Charcoal / Dark Blue
In the Designo (US offering) you had:
Light Brown in the Mocha Black
Charcoal / Slate Blue with Slate Blue package
Pebble (gray color) with the Cashmere package for the '03
The US AMG models
(Cabrio 55 only had exclusive charcoal interior)
Charcoal / Silver
Charcoal / Blue
Charcoal / Charcoal

J Lucas-
Totally agree, the two tone interior really adds a finishing touch to the CLK.
One further question guys...do the CLK's have head airbags and rear passenger side airbags?
Thanks again,

as soon as my car gets out of the body shop (yes, it's still in their because of the damn kit), I am going to get my interior done up with the 2 tone look. I have the charcoal interior and i am going to change the middle pieces of the front/back seats to a light grey color. A local upholstery shop quoted me $600 to do it. I think its a good deal.

i went with the Kleemann two-tone interior in my car....charcoal nappa leather with burgundy alcantera inserts in the middle of the seats, front of the headrests(front and rear), and on the doors. nappa leather also replaces the rear armrest and door panels which were plastic before. smells like a baseball glove.

Found an example of a two-tone interior. White car with charcoal/ash interior. Very sharp:

Too bad the car is extremely overpriced for the mileage/options.

I have the European market W208 brochures and it shows a Magma Red w/ charcoal/red interior like you describe. It would have been a lot of red (especially the dash and steering wheel), but it would have been distinctive.
I think you could get this in Canada...I played around on the CN website and could configure combinations not offered to U.S. - even on the 320.
At the time in 2001 I visited the Sindelfingen plant, they were out of Designo brochures that day, but the W208 book I got even shows a dark green/charcoal interior in the pix.

I just purchased a 2002 CLK 430 and it has silver and grey interior but the grey is only on the trim. Since I'm new to MB and CLK's, I'm not sure if this is what you were referring to. It was a Starmark vehicle that was traded in my Matt Roberts--the lead guitarist for 3 Doors Down. I tried to add a picture of the interior but it said my file was too big. If you'll drop me an e-mail I'll forward the picture to you.

Re: That's an exception
Are you questioning that I actually saw that vehicle? Or are you just stating its availability was just limited?

Not questioning wheter you did see it -
just that it's unusual.
Not knowing the exact details of what country that particular 320 was produced for is what my comment is about.
Just that the only way to get the charcoal/red interior with a US spec W208 car was:
CLK430 with exterior color of
Black (non-metallic)
Black Opal
Obsidian Black
I looked into it at the time I was placing my order, and I didn't want a body color of black - this was both for MY00, MY01 and MY02.

That looks sick Bruce. I originally wanted a two-tone interior when I was in the market for a CLK but the only ones I could find were either designo editions (and they were out of my price range) or CLK55 (which was also out of my price range at the time).. It could definitely be worth doing an aftermarket job on it if the place is trustworthy and you know they will do a good job.
