The True OG Modded out W203
Dumped the Alcantera Brabus Steering wheel+ a few other 'minor' mods=)

I got a new steering wheel that corresponds to my cars interior. Air bag I left the same color though(MIGHT change it back not sure....). I personally like this steering wheel MUCH better overall than my Brabus one but I do miss the 'thickness' of the Brabus wheel. I got also a few other mods out of the way. Special thanks to silverLorinserC for the Lorinser parts and tom incredibie for the directions on how to install the W211 Binkers. Lets just hope I get this [IMG] thing right if not I posted it on the OTHER forum a few days ago =)
Steering Wheel


4 way power Lorinser illumanated door sills(ditched OEM type)


211 Blinkers CHEAP mod everyone should do =)

I really like the steering wheel. It looks good and is very uncommon. A smart choice.

lorinser,


is urs (part in red) fit perfectly?
i just installed mine today and the sides don't fit in perfectly... there is a small gap in between... it's ok unless someone wants to pull it apart on purpose... i'm thinking about puttin' double-sided tapes in the gap...

also, the local shop wired it so that all door sills illumninate only when driver's door is open. i know it ain't suppose to do that but they didn't wanna do it in case they screw up the wiring... i bet urs is done properly... do u know how the wiring was done? i printed out instructions (from formymercedes.com) but they needed more detailed info.

thx.

You know what could have happened, maybe they didnt apply pressure to the sill long enough to stay properly....How much u pay for install??

i think the sill is a little wide to begin with.
the only alternative to make it fit is to cut the sill a little bit...
install was 50.

I dunt remember actually I got them C.H.E.A.P. w/some pedals too....Thing is they didnt bring a 'modulator'. My installer couldnt install w/out it BUT others have said you can do it w/out it. Dood you RARELY find rear sills on W203's =) I recommend you get some! Lol wait a minute you got a coupe

MJ50 that was a CHEAP price you paid for install...BUT...I dunno if the sills didnt fit properly I would ask for my refund....
