If your car has the aluminum AMG style paddles, it should fit! If you would like you can PM us a picture of your steering wheel and we can help you determine if it will fit.

How are they attached? Clip on, tape, etc. And how durable are they? I purchased some for another car and it felt like they would break off if I didn't shift near the aluminum paddle. Basically, if I pull at the top of the cf extension, are they durable enough to stay on?

They are attached using double sided tape, although you could epoxy them in as well for a permanent solution. The paddles are made from 4 layers of real carbon fiber, so they are very sturdy and strong. From our testing, the paddles do stay on when shifting at the top of the CF extension just using double sided tape. If you would like, we could email you some videos of the paddles being pulled. Just PM us your email address

Looks good. It compliment the steering wheel and gauge cluster nicely.

nice finishing, and nice PP you got there.
the seperation between silver and carbon is a little bit awkward for me.

thanks for sharing.
