I have never been able to find those kind of parts from any other source other than the dealer.
There are however Mercedes parts suppliers that carry dealer only items at a very reduced price, and it helps to have a good standing relationship or a wholesale accountat one of these places, still the pieces you need will come in Mercedes Benz packaging.
Why not get good used and clean them out and polish as much as possible?
Im pretty sure i can find you all the pieces in a w123 in excellent shape, pm me if needed.

yeah, i can scrounge around a junkyard for decent used ones too. you're not the only one with a JY nearby.

anyone else know where they sell new ones that aren't marked up in price by a factor of 8,372% ?

thank you gatorblue. here are some links to the performance products trims (no mention of whether they have the chrome trim or not, though one of them appears to have it in the pics)
