Thanks.

Ok, took the black surround off, gave the trim panel a real good clean and then put the chrome surround on........ does not fit!!!!!

it is too narrow... I got it from MB part no A 170 267 02 88.

I have a W202. Anyone know of which part i should have??

If that's the part for the SLK, it should fit OK. You might find that you need to give it a little gentle persuasion in order to get it to slide into the surround. Was it way too narrow - or did it just seem to be half a millimetre or so out ?

**EDIT** Just had a thought - if yours is one of the later 202s with Tiptronic gearbox, I have a feeling the surround is a different shape. . . and not sure that we have a part number which fits that one . . Is yours tiptronic ?

 

[hbhudia]

Its tiptronic. basically the whole frame of the chrome about 1cm smaller than the black in width only.

Does anyone have any part numbers?

GRR! Does NO-ONE ever search for anything on this forum?!

A202 267 07 88 [7F24] : COVER : EUR 5.92

You need to use the whole number including the part in brackets, that is a trim code.

[hbhudia]

Is this A202 267 07 88 [7F24] for the chrome part?

As far as I know. I haven't tried ordering that part because it won't fit mine, not much point really. That number appears in a few threads on this forum but no-one seems to have bought it yet so I can't say 100% that it's correct. It's only a fiver, just buy it and see

 

[hbhudia]

I will do just that!

 

[Shude]

I will do just that!

Hurrah! Please post pics etc when you get it! I'm sure some people ordered it then because it was correct they never bothered posting to this forum again

Good luck!

 

[Shude]

I will do just that!

Did it arrive? What's it look like?

 

[hbhudia]

Havent had a chance to pick it up yet!! Will post when fitted.
