My mom recently got a SLK for a loaner car and as I was comparing it to my Crossfire I noticed chrome trim that I wanted in the Crossfire. I know one of the parts will fit, the chrome door trim, but I'm not sure about the gauges. And if the gauges do fit I believe the red interior on the SLK is much deeper than the Crossfire. Any thoughts would be appreciated, Thanks JASON.

 

Pictures won't post!?

 

OK, I went to my local MB dealer and bought two Chrome door trim pieces for a total with tax of about $160.00. They'll be in on friday, i'll see if I can post pics once there installed.

Still can't upload pics!?

 

Just upload it to www.imageshack.us and post a link.

 

jason... i've seen this topic on this forum before... nice option for us in reference to interior replacements... but as for me... i am going custom.

Ok just attempted to put the chrome door trim/lock cover(s) on and THEY DON'T FIT. Well they do but they're to small, the SLKs door are thinner than the crossfires. There is a 3/4 inch gap between the chrome and the edge of the door. All the bolt holes line up and everything else is great except for the gap. So i'll be returning them on monday.

Still would like some input on the gauges... thanks.

 

Nice And Gallant Try!!!

But Interesting That Our Xf's Are Thicker Skinned In The Doors.... Nice.

Did you get the SLK parts for a new model car or the same model as the XFire? That would surely make a difference.

 

good point!!! as alot of us wait in anticipation!!!

Here are some trim pieces up on ebay (from germany):

The trim parts were for a 2004 SLK 320 which is the last year of the R170 model, our model. I'll get pictures of the parts tomorrow.

 

OK the picture is on my cardomain site, just scroll to the bottom.

Do you have a part number for the gauge rings? I definitely have to have that pronto!!!

Did they fit?

 

i see you sending out props for the XFF.org on your page... nice.

i have already given 3 xf drivers... a piece of paper with only crossfireforum.org written on it...

one by one hehehe.

 

Does anyone know which part number is for the chrome end caps to the doors? I wanted to get these for my Xfire.

Thanks

 

The chrome door caps (lock covers) don’t fit our Crossfire’s, and I haven’t gotten around to trying the rings when I went to see how much they would cost it was insane +$300 can’t remember exactly right now, but it was not worth my time and money to find out if they fit or not.

 

That's what its called a lock cover? Its not on the door lock? I am confused.

 

According to Mercedes that’s what they call it, it provides easier access to the exterior door handle and locking mechanism.
