Part # for w202 faux carbon fiber pillar?

[golden1245]

The faux carbon fiber door pillars on my 1999 c230k have faded to black and I want them replaced. Does anyone know that part # for them and approximately how much they cost from the dealership?

Thanks in advance for reading!

Hi,
There are at least two different patterns to these trims that I know of, prefacelift and facelift I believe.
They are approx. £50 each and that was a few years ago now so expect a price hike.
As previously stated get them wrapped.

thanks for the replies everybody =)

I've long forgot what the fake carbon fiber paint looked like on the door trims, was it more of a matte finish or a glossy finish?

Which one do you guys think look better? From what I recall, I think door pillar ones were more glossy? But I'm not sure anymore, there are no remnants of it whatsoever left!

Let me know!

thank you for your responses =)

From the video tutorials, it doesn't seem that difficult to wrap myself, is there any particular brand out there is best quality or that you prefer?
