W203 Steering Wheel Retrofit

Was driving today and a thought came across about retrofitting my current steering wheel to match the one on the W204.

I know it's kind of a long shot swapping out the whole steering wheel but would it be possible to change out just the center of the steering wheel?

This:

Searched around on the forums and looked online but nobody seems to have addressed this so that's why I'm posting it here..

I'm thinking that some of the command options/wiring may make this problematic? Not sure, though..
Any input would be appreciated.

Screw that - get a custom reskin and get it the way you want as far as thickness, color, perforation, etc. Brabus are nice, but you could get your wheel done exactly how you want for cheaper.

I used agla in Florida - www.aglausa.com

Now mine took 7 months, but that's because the blue carbon fiber took a long time to source and installation was a PITA. He's now sworn off doing blue cf, but can do many other things.

gave up on this a while ago.. looked into it a good amount but ultimately time was an issue and i didn't want to deal with the wiring/command issues. brabus would probably be a good alternative.

Infected picked up a Renntech steering wheel - they do appear on ebay every so often as well.
