wawzy,

I would recommend you do not try to install a 2002-07 Mercedes Benz Geländewagen G-class interior in a W460 G-class because the complexity and expense is not worth the trouble.

I would suggest that you upgrade the current Geländewagen W460 interior with some wood accessories, Recarro or ML seats that would compliment it very well.

I have added some photos for your review.

Respectfully,

They look like Recarros.

Mike,

I do not know who is the manufacturer of the seats photographed in the Geländewagen above in photo 2.

The photos below are of a 1983 300GD Turbo Cab with Mercedes Benz SLK seats installed.

Nice interior James,

I have seen the wood advertised for the dashboard, but where did you get the wood cappings for the doors and gearknobs?

Are the rear seats standard G Wagen, or are they out of something else?

Bollotti,

Pertaining to your questions about the rear seats they are an aftermarket brand.

Here are some options for the wood accessories:

1. Vlad at fourbyfourclub, Inc.: http://fourbyfourclub.com/

2. Sean at EuroTruck Importers, LLC.: http://www.eurotruck-importers.com/

3. Guido at IndustryTools24 of eBay: EBAY@INDUSTRYTOOLS.DE
