Can thisW205 steering work in a W204? And also if I want the colored cluster what can I do to make that work also.

After some research I found out it would work and you can help virginised the cluster I saw it on your site. but the steering and cluster both are quite pricey.

Would you tell me the PIN mapping of the clock please, maybe some pictures. I do not get it to run. Bought the correct housing and put the cables in it, but it won't work. Maybe the clock is broken.

No you need to move the pins to corect position. Just do trail and error...No risk on doing it.

Hi Chris,

Can I ask if you have lowered the car?
I don't remember reading it... What suspension/Mod's have you used ?

NICE ride, it's almost like a twin of mine, but mine doesn't have a hat and it's black

PS: I'm looking for coilovers but mine is a 2014 and have the adaptative suspension with the confort/sport button and I only could find KW DDC suspensions but no feedback about them on the web!

Great project Chris! I never knew you could swap pre-facelift bumpers with facelift ones. Although I'm not too crazy about the facelfted looks on the E sedans, it looks way better on the E coupes and cabrios.
