It would be much cheaper than USD $4,000 to go to a local upholstery shop and have the interior pieces covered in leather.

If that isn't an option, I suggest you find a shop that specialized in automotive interiors and see if they can re-spray the interior pieces with a matching color/texture coating.

Hi Xeon,

If you are in Singapore, try Super Workshop Pte Ltd. They specialise in customising MBs. I haven't tried them but I heard that they are good. The phone number is 67489878. You can speak to Freddy Leow (hp 98323236).

Let me know the outcome. My SLK is 6 years old, the interior is still fine but I believe very soon I may have to pay them a visit.
