Door Surrounds

I recently purchased a set of polished Door surrounds from IKOMPREZ and I must tell you. They look hot.
Anybody looking for an inexpensive mod for their EClass, this is it.

Door lock pin surrounds? I got the Brabus pins by themselves and they look great. then I decided to get the brushed surrounds that match. The pins rattled inside them like crazy! Getting the surrounds out is now impossible without destroying the door panel. I solved the problem by adding a tiny O-ring to the upper most groove that's machined into the door pin. Now when the doors lock and pins drop, no more rattle.

I have the OEM door pins and have noticed NO Noise. Now that you fixed the noise problem, they look really good I bet.

As soon as I noticed the rattling, I tried to pull the surrounds out and go back to just the pins. That's when I realized there's no way in hell they're coming back out! The surrounds have a smaller diameter hole and the stock "golf tees" couldn't be re-used! AAAAAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!! That's when I came up with the O-ring idea:

Where the heck to you guys find this stuff?

I have done literaly hundreds of google searches and I always come up EMPTY for ANY decent 210 accessories.
I'm still looking for a java leather wheel to replace the POS vinyl one that came from Germany. It seems nearly impossible since I have the buttons to control the stereo etc. and they all seem to be black.

Off my rant now, so go back to your regularly scheduled chaos.

I still have 15 sets plain polished ones. Each sets of 4 can be customized to have whatever you want to put on. Using the latest laser technology, the markings are done on a laser etching machine where the laser vaporize the surface of the part, hence creates a permanent mark on it. Light polish with any polishing compound would not remove the markings. They are so shinny you wont even need to polish them anymore. I have sold many of them on W203 board and they all love them. There are no rattle problems reported (many of them have Brabus pin). Email me at ikomprz@aol.com to get a set for yourself. Price is $35 shipped.

Samples:

The door pins are threaded on the inside, once they are twist out, simply use a plier to pull the stock surrounds out (fairly easy to do). The new ones would just push right in. Email me if you have questions regarding installation.

Again I have many satisfied customers, more info can be found here:

Email me at ikomprz@aol.com for payment instructions. Thanks
