there aren't any. that is an example of a custom made one. You can either cut your current one or change it out with an 05+ trim. The cupholders have covers that you can pop off and upgrade to the 05+ style that go all the way across. The part numbers for the cupholder trim is 230-689-05-39-7167 and 230-689-04-39-7167. I'm about to change mine out to the 05+ trim with the connects2 double din kit. I am then having everything hyrdodipped in carbon fiber to give it a factory appearance.

Nope, these are not custom made. They are made by a company that sells them in Japen i think. I could not make out any of the language since it was on japanese and it was to little text to try to use a translate program
I will try to find the place where i saw them for sale and perhaps there is someone that readsa Japanese here on the forum?

Blazeracer. No ity is not the person in the clip you posted since he made the fascia himself if it is the same video i have seen before.
I tried a quick search to see if i could find it but here are some pictures of the ad for the 2002-2004 3 DIN radio fascia
I am pretty sure that the web page where i found it endid in jp as in Japan
So as you can tell they make the 2 DIN radio fascia for the 2002-03-04 Mercedes SL, R230 as well as the 2005 SL and newer

I think i managed to contact/email the company that makes these 2 DIN radio fascias for 2002-2004 SL, R230 since i used google translate and got a message from them saying that they would contact me as soon as they had "confirmed the content"
I see two things in Engish on that page. The title and a copyright date of 2009. This page may not be current. I wonder if they have a proper working converter for the fiber optics driving the 03/04 subwoofer?

I do not know if the page is current or not or if they have the converter but i have sent them an email
The phone number to them is 06-6335-0805 according to the page
The kit on the picture below contains:
Kit component parts
· 2 DIN face panel
· 2 DIN bracket
· Face lock plate
· Power supply speaker harness
· Accessory signal code
Illumination signal code
· Radio antenna conversion plug
· Radio antenna extension cord

·Screw
This according to google translate

Just to follow up this thread so i sent this company that makes the 2 DIN radio fascia/radio frames an email asking about if they shipped them to Europe and i got a reply within a few hours
Below is is what they wrote in their email to me:
Dear Mr.
Thank you very much for your email.
Sorry, for sale in Japan only.
Regards.
PB Osaka office Ayumi TANI
So is there any here at the forum that is located in Japan that can receive this 2 DIN fascias and then ship them to me here in northern Europe?

The problem is undoubtably their lack of language skills. Try a Japan Trade Center or Jetro Office, sort of near you. You’ll find a mix of local and Japanese staff there, and with a bit of luck...
You can enquire if they are willing to dispatch to where you are. Shipments to Dutch customers are made with registered mail only, seems a bit overboard for cross-Atlantic mail, seeing the value/risk of this item. If need be I could buy and ship for you (I am in NL) if you cover cost. I’ve got PayPal.
(note - they advertise wood and plastic finish facia)

Frederick NL. Thanks a lot for your help. It sure makes it much more easy for me.
I did regiister at bol.com/nl but i could not find the email address even usiing Google translate
I will send them an email and ask if they ship ouside of NL
Found another Dutch Web shop with the same ‘wood’ stock photo. Half the price (€35 ‘wood’ €30 black), willing to ship international including US, payment through PayPal or credit card. There’s also a rubber touch facia (€60) that for pre face lift R230’s apparently needs some cutting into your dash.
I’m a bit puzzled about those straight top edges, so take a good look before you dive in (I’m not having one myself, so I can’t tell).
