All,

Currently seeking a W203 and have found a nice example with the necessary holes and studs to retrofit ISOFIX. I have also got the part numbers for the retrofit parts from some other threads on here. Sadly existing investment in ISOFIX seats precludes the use of any alternative.

My local dealer is claiming they can't supply however (which I was expecting TBH) due to health and safety issues. He did confirm the price though suggesting they are listed in a catalogue somewhere.

Assuming that's a UK wide thing what other options are available for getting hold of the necessary parts? Anybody had any success ordering via other channels?

Thanks.
 
If you have part number, try ebay.de or if you want go 100% official parts, for example bald.de (they deliver overseas) or other german part shop.
 
As you have the part numbers you could buy from Inchcape
 
As suggested above try inchape in Oxford
 
Thanks you all for the responses. Strangely the next day the dealer called me back and said that, since I'd provided the part numbers, they would sell them to me afterall but that I'd have to order in person. So I will head there on Saturday to sort it. They also told me that fixings are not included (which others on here have said are included) so not quite all clear just yet.
 
Just to close this off, despite the best efforts of the parts advisor in my local dealer I ordered these on Thursday and collected them today. This speed suggest they were in stock in Milton Keynes which is odd, given they aren't supposed to sell them.

As suspected, they come complete with the necessary fixing hardware for each side, so there was no need to buy nuts or bolts separately. Price was £36.50 + VAT per side.

Obviously it didn't happen without proof so here's a photo. No idea why they came in different sized boxes.
