Ugh. Door sills.

Greetings everyone.

I have a 2007 SL550 and the door sills are all scratched and ugly. I'd love to replace them with a backlit MB option or something that is less likely to scratch. I've searched and searched and can't find them anywhere.

Every once in a while, I wonder why MB would make an obvious part like this so poorly. I absolutely love the car but this is a weak point. The pre-2007 design was superior in this regard.

Does anyone know about a good OEM site or aftermarket manufacturer that sells these? I show a part number of A 230 680 19 35 9051 for the left one if this helps.

Thanks!

Check out the illuminated sills from www.formymercedes.com - they look great, I have them installed!

Thanks for the suggestion. It turns out that the door sills changed style in 2007. The ones you referenced work for 2003-2006.
