Cool Chrome Seat Buttons Done

Finally, I am able to upload facelift W212 chrome seat buttons' images in my car
It took less then 15 mins for both sides in total installation time to a well trained staff , price is around $500 including , not cheap neither expensive
Is it worth it ? Definitely , if you drive a car 50K$ plus , you could mind plastic seat movers and when you see facelift models come with that lol

Looks decent but MB seat adjustment knobs/levers/buttons have always been black.

You paid $500 to change the buttons from black to chrome? Are the chrome plated gold?

$500? I hope they came with a check for $450.
Seriously though I assume that "$500" was a typo and you meant $50.
Nice work.

Nice upgrade! Funny how I never really minded the horrible black plastic buttons for the seat heaters etc. until I saw the facelifts smooth sliver ones. Now I can't get my mind off those eye sores.

Thanks for your replies, price can vary , I had stumbled upon gaudy trinket swarowski ones on ebay as well Well, I believe those were even wayyyyy cheaper , and yes these ones I did in my W212 are solid chrome , same as R231 SL roadsters do
My next goal is W212 FL E63 chrome surrounding diffuser , stay tuned

$500 for little seat chrome pieces???? IDK about you, but that seems pretty expensive for something you barely touch or notice...not to mention it wont help the resale value lol
NOT worth it IMO! Should have saved it for the chrome diffuser!

Sorry, but I don't see $500 upgrade. Glad you like it. That's what counts.
