Burl Walnut Trim
I bought a 2000 CLK 430, and I love the car, EXCEPT, the black trim. It makes it look like my car is so dusty. I'm thinking of installing the Burl Walnut Trim. Has anyone done this on their own? How does it look? How much you spent, and where did you guys get it?

I have a 99 CLK with the burl trim and personally I like it better than the black maple. I have a burl maple steering wheel too and I think the maple really dresses up the interior. Good luck on the change but I can only imagine it being very expensive.

"Black birdseye" is MB's premier interior wood for the CLK55! Pls advise progress.

David, do the floor mats came originally with your car, or is it optional accessory? The car that I bought doesn't have floor mats with the CLK and MB on it. It's just plain velour floor mats.

I called a couple dealers, and they don't know if the floor mats for 2002 fit a 2000. Is anyone there sure if it does? Also, they don't have floor mats for 2002 in stock so they don't know if they have the CLK and MB on it.

I wonder if there are people out there who want to trade burl for the black maple and visa versa?? You might be able to work something out if you can find someone.
I've seen those adhesive laminates in "faux" burl that attach over the existing dash. Don't recommend them. They look and feel cheap.

They are heavy-duty 1/2" wide alligator-type clip/snaps with sharp serrated edges and with a 2 1/2" long needle.
The needle goes into the base carpet, and the clip/snap hold the mat. Get at least two per mat.
My salesperson gave me 4 for free.

when i got my 320, they came with MB and designo mats. The designo mats had clips attached to them. You could clip them to the seat brackets, cool idea!!
but they shouldnt really slip either way!! hmmmm. have you been washing the flooring recently?
