W203 Saloon Illuminated sills - MBClub UK

sportedition · 12-01-2011, 09:26 PM

Ok, I've had my car for a couple of years now and I've decided I want to try and fit the genuine merc illuminated sills.

Does anyone have the part numbers? And some sort of fitting guide? I'm not wanting to pay dealer prices for the parts and I'm struggling to find genuine parts for the coupe?

If anyone has fitted them to W203 coupe and has some pictures I'd appreciate seeing some.

Thanks.

Best place to get them is ebay- dealers often sell off old stock. Got mine for about £30 - approx 10+ X that from dealers. Just keep watching & search cl203, w203, c coupe & c-class.
C-coupe ones are often wrongly listed in w203 & c class saloon listings.

Do you have a link to an example - I can only see AMG ones @ £700 :-(

How about from here?

I fitted sills from them to my estate, very good quality. Pictures in my album

Did you check the link in post #4?

sportedition · 14-01-2011, 09:59 PM

I did. I was hoping I'd be able to drop on a genuine pair though.

They are identical to OEM, just much cheaper!

Just checked out your thread - I honestly like the look of these more than the OEM ones. Personally I prefer the design without the badge lit up - just my preference. I'll be following your progress closely. My only concern, from a novice point of view, would be wiring them up.

Keep up the good work!!!
