Dealer dookie. They have to make a special request for it, like any non-North American part, which they can do as a list or individual part. My dealer did it several times for me. As a matter of fact, they’re doing it right now. My R129 (1997 SL500) has a very expensive and poorly engineered

You should be able to find part numbers that are different from USA models on one of the rooskie websites. I'd be the classic center can help also. 124 is out of production 20 years now. I looked up the 123 door pod on autohausAz last night and they are a buck more than the Classic Center.
