[Ikebaddog]

Hi, I am considering wrapping the fake wood trim on my 2003 r230, with carbon wrap, the thing is, how do i remove door and centre trim without damage?

I'm doing the same to my ml because I hate the wood but there should be some screws about and most pop on and off
I've bought 4d carbon wrap and my god it looks well smart

Malcolm (Television) removed all of his in the one he had and painted it piano black. and very smart it was too. im sure he will be along to advise at some point!

Hi, good luck with it, the wood finish looks a bit
naff imo. I bought mine with piano black looks

Gents,

Is it possible to change the wood trim on the steering wheel with the wrap suggested??? If so, simple job or a pain in the backside???

Cheers.

Hi, have finished centre console and door trims, have posted pictures under "centre console refurbished"
Dont think it would look good on steering wheel though.

I believe all mercs has real wood not fake... though the wood is extremely thin and wrapped on aluminum case and covered plastic. But there IS wood.:lol:

And totally different thing is how good looking the merc wood choice is, I admit carbon look would be better in some cases...

You are absolutely correct, it is real wood veneer, i think they put so much clearcoat on top, it looks and feels like plastic, my mistake, sorry mr Benz.

I wrapped my piano black wood trim with 3M 1080 series titanium, really makes it more modern....

Any one still want to know how to take it all out

 

[Blaze_One]

Yes please Malcolm...

Steering wheel looks like its going to be a pain (but I'm sure you got a trick or two under your sleeve!)

CfFoster...defo looks the dogs danglies...I got the wood trim and would like to give the car a slightly more modern look...

I had the alli trim but I bought some wood and resprayed it. I did the steering wheel as well.

Lower the seats, prise off the side covers starting a the rear.
remove the screws arrowed.
remove the ashtray.
lift the gear lever cover over the knob and undo the collet and the knob pulls off
prise the top out and lift the whole thing up and unplug it
