W203 parts needed

[mzaslam]

Hi guys

I am the new proud owner of a C220CDI (03 plate) and am looking to replace the interior grab handle covers. They're all in a pretty bad state - lots of scuff marks, chips etc.

I've tried www.mercedparts.co.uk but no joy.

So does anyone know where I can get these from and how much would I be looking to pay? Also, how do I find out the colour code for my existing handles?

I guess I should ask if its possible to replace JUST the handle covers as the sales guy I spoke to when I bought my car (franchised dealer) reckoned I would have to replace the entire door card - cost £400 each + fitting !!! Surely that can't be right?

thanks in advance.

If you speak to MB dealer local to you, give them the chassis number for your car and explain the parts you need they will give a price, Ive found in the past MB try to sell a complete assembly and not the parts!!!! Afew stiff words sorted that out.
If you get stuck email me you chassis number and I will speak to my chap and see what I can come up with.

thanks. I'm due to take it in this week to have some of the electrics sorted so will enquire then and see what happens.

The dealer is the best bet as they'll be new but failing that, Mercman or Dronsfields are the breakers.
