Trim change - is this possible?

Hi Everyone:

I'm loving my new 2023 E 450 Coupe thus far but I had no choice, as delivered, with the MANUFAKTUR Black Piano Lacquer "Flowing Lines" trim that came on the car.

Simply put, impossible to clean and scratches easily. It's gotta go.

Although it may be a pricey adventure, I'd like to look into having that trim replaced with Natural Grain Grey Ash Wood trim.

Has anyone ever done or tried this? Is there or are there a set of part numbers I can get some guidance on?

Many thanks, all.

My recent purchase of a 2018 CPO model required replacing several panels of the Natural Grain Black Ash Wood trim. The dealer handled it with no issues.
I definitely prefer the Natural grain compared to the Piano Black.

I would LOVE to swap out the Black ash for carbon fiber. But $5000? Not happening!

That white ash is ugly IMHO. Would look really bad in a car with a black interior.

I know mbpartscenter.com has the wood trim for my 2018 (couldn't find the dash piece though). I have ordered OEM from a few of those Mercedes websites and have had good luck so far.

I couldn't find anything when I just searched for a MY 2023 E450, not sure if they only get updated for slightly older cars than brand new. The categories can be a little misleading because you have to look under body and then interior sometimes as opposed to the main interior section.

Can anyone confirm that the post-facelift C238 uses identical interior trim pieces as pre-facelift? iIt doesn't look different from the pictures for where the trim is.

I've noticed inventory varies for certain colors/trim with the various sites so you may want to check a few to see if you can get lucky.

I sourced everything (all OEM) through Euro Active (https://euroactiveparts.com/).

Excellent experience.
