Are the carbon fiber B-pillars stick-on or what? Saw them on an E55 today and would like to have a set. Does dealer stock them? Where can you get them?

Mark, are these stick-on pieces? Are they plastic or real carbon fiber? Do you remember about how much they cost? You wouldn't have the part numbers would you? I really need a set of black ones. THANKS!

They are replacement covers and are Metal Not Carbon Fiber Easy to replace ...You can get them from the dealer..
I Dont remember the Costs..I Got mine from Steve,,Since the E55 Estate is NOT a USA Item...The MB Parts People say ..You cant get those...I Even Gave them The correct Part Numbers..
From my Euro EPC..Since you have the sedan..try The Dealer
for a Model Update W210/E55 2000 on

Excuse me

Excuse me for butting in,

Are those carbon fiber pillars a BRABUS?
I assume it is since it has their "B" logo.

I think this will look better for those with Brabus wheels and set-up.

These pictured are not brabus pillars they are aftermarket pillars that come with both an amg / brabus inserts!! originally these pillars come on 00-02 amg and do not have any symbols on them

IMO i dont see why they would look better with one set of rims or the other im not going for the 100% brabus look. Just take a look at whitey's car

Just for the record, these also came on pre-00 AMG's and the pre-00 Advantgarde option package of regular cars in Asia and Europe - mine came with the car cuz its an Advantgarde. IMO, they looked a little out of place when my car was stock but they started to grow on me after I modded the car.

And yes, the originals are color coded - I've seen burgandy, white (mine), grey/black, blue - looks good when properly matched with the car's color. And yeah, I've also seen the AMG version.....I wouldn't get them to match the body kit or wheels - that would be overdoing it, but that's JMO.

The "original" CF pillars on the A-Class (which I understand aren't avaialablen in the US) are only sticker's but when done properly they don't look too bad.

E55 original "carbon fiber" B-pillars

Anyone got the M-B part numbers for the factory B-pillars that comes on the 2000-2003 E55 AMG?

The winner is....SHANE C

On the conditions that he pays for shipping and when another Benz owner needs a part that he has and isn't using, he do the same.
