OK, I might regret this later, but I just ordered a DashMat (in black).
They don't make the molded fabric model for the 240D, so I went for
the original (plain) DashMat. What the heck... just $23.95... I can
always discard it and order the expensive item from PP if I don't like it.
I'll let you know as soon as I get it... Thanks all for contributing.

I know of a DashCup in my area but its going on my 240D. I have a self made dashmat on my '99 VW NB TDI that I custom made. I fabricated a paper template and then used a piece of carpet cut from the template-however my VW Dash is Completely flat so it was an easy make. I used dull black carpeting and then had the sides trimmed with Red vinyl piping--looks great ! May be difficult on a MB as the air ducts may be difficult to achieve a perfect fit on and around . Still may be worth a try as you then could use a nice piece of high grade carpet. My only complaint on the Dashmats is the material was kind of light-still they never deteriorated and I had 3 of them.
