Walnut dash trim for 460
Naff or not? Opinions? Can't find on ebay but perhaps not looking in the right places. Can anyone recommend a source?
used to be a factory option from 87 -90, was made of Wurzelnuss; not naff at all, there had been demand for high-spec 460s, the options list incl alloys with wide tyres, central locking, Recaro seats and metallic paint; this demand triggered the introduction of the 463; it could be regarded a bit out of place in a 461. Search on e-bay.de, include Wurzelnuss in your search, Mercedes can probably supply it at a regal price as well (as an entire set is difficult to get hold of).
hi consur talk to nadine vom at

you can debate the price a bit
there is half a set but they may have more
the hardest bit to find is the ashtray
good luck adrian
Don't forget RHD different to LHD.
Thanks guys. I'll work on it.
Hi. Not sure if this would be of any help but I've been looking for wood trim for my 460 and it's an absolute fortune! I've decided to risk the princely sum of around £25 including postage for a 30cm x 120cm roll of mahogany effect vinyl stick on "wrap" from Slovakia on eBay. It's stretchable with a hair dryer and can be lifted and reapplied. Just need a really fine/sharp craft knife to trim. Might take a couple of attempts to get it to look somewhere near but there are tutorials on YouTube.
Will possibly look pants but I'm prepared to give it a go!
Where did you see the wood trim "for a fortune"?
hi consur i got this set for 500eur and have sent parts 1 & 2
to be remade (handed)

I have a cheap solution for you !
Go to B&Q or home base and buy some wood effect vinyl by the roll about £10-15
get some gloss varnish suitable for plastic, there is a brand called plastikote
i would make a template of the dash with some ally sheet and cover with the vinyl then give it a few coats of varnish and voila !
Superb results

Thanks for that. Wurzelnuss does indeed seem to be the key although I can't see anything so far for the 460 but will keep looking and report back if I find anything.
