Hello, newbie here!

[stuartforrest]

Hi there, thought I'd introduce myself. I bought my first MB two days ago and I am loving it. I'm 21 and have been through 2 cars in a years, the first being a 3 series BMW, second a Honda Civic ( don't know what I was thinking ) and now I have a W202 C200 Espirit in Black, very nice car and seems to have everything I would want, except leather, is it easy anough to pick up a leather interior and retro-fit it?

Anyways Hi! And here's some pics, some have the previous owners Private Reg on it, my reg will be going on in the next week or so!

Hello and welcome. You should be able to buy the leather interior from a breaker. Several people have done that here on the forum

Hi,
Interior is quite straight forward to replace but as most leather interiors i,ve seen for sale have at least one electric front seat and unless you get the seat control units and the wiring looms could end up costing a lot of money.
If you can get a non electric leather interior this would be simpler.
I personally would,nt buy an electric interior unless i could remove it from the doner vehicle myself.
Hope this has help you.
