Andy,
It would be interesting to learn have the refurbished alu trim turns out.
I myself have gotten new ones, both originals from MB and repro parts from SLS.
As far as I can tell, The repros look identical to the originals, and even the repros fit was good with the screwholes lining up perfectly etc.
Some say the repros come from the same source as the originals, I think that might be true.
The full set of all four pieces is 390 euros from SLS, deduct 19% vat from that and your net export price will be
about 315 euros.
Originally the carpet that fits into the inner piece is not glued on to it, its just tucked into that part of the alutrim, so you could replace these moldings later without risking damaging the carpet.
