Did you try e-mailing FMM anyway? I know that the German manufacturer has discontinued them, but they may have a few left in ex-stock. Wouldn't hurt to check.

I absolutely love mine. The vehicle gets a lot of looks from other ML owners since the chrome strips look completely stock.

Drew,

Tried that a while ago but they don't have any.

I was just thinking about ordering a replacement set for mine, just incase I received alot of door-opening dings (not yet atleast, phew!).

The German ones were just chromed plastic.. can the ML's original's be stripped and chromed?

I LOVE mine, I would cry if I couldn't find chrome replacements...they make the brilliant-silver models really stand out, but they're not for everyone. Before I permanantly attached them to my ML, I temporally attached them to my wife's desert-silver ML, they just didn't do the trick for her color, should've been gold chrome.

Brett,

Are you saying that MB originally offered chrome?

If so, I wonder if they are available through a dealer? Hmmmm....???

RE: Not factory chrome, bought from FFM when in stock...

Andy no. I bought mine from FFM in March-April '03 and installed them on my brilliant silver ML. The day I ordered them Jerry said I was receiving the last of 2 remaining sets.

...that the many-many complements given me by other Mercedes owners including employees Mercedes dealerships I frequent have brought me to the conclusion that my best exterior upgrades have been:
Brett,

They look so good I'm surprised that someone else isn't making them. I would buy a set for my Brilliant Silver ML in a second.

Rebadged to ML-500
Sshhhh - Don't let UncAl know.[:D]

Thanks,

Andy
