That looks cool. Hopefully either you know German or the guy who did the mods knows English. Or, perhaps a job the legendary Steve (MBenzNL) can start performing?

Thats not near enough for all the parts, time, etc. Count on several grand. And let me guess, you'd pay with paypal of course.

well said amdeutsch. Realistically, can a normal person do this in a weekend? I wouldnt do the radio or cluster, just the orange buttons.

will think about installing these someday.

It would be good for those who love doing jig saw puzzles.

Damn I'd get the biggest headache, it would be so fiddly.
