I'll snap some more later this week. I have to go back to the tint shop to have him redo the driver side window. I noticed some serious bubbling in the corner closest to the rear view mirror.

Nice Work! Did you get that steering wheel from the dealer? How much did you pay?

illogik, can i ask where you found that flat bottom steering wheel and how much it was complete?

I just bought my 09 C300 Sport 4Matic a week ago and thinking about changing the wheel too.

Thanks,
Pat

Check the interior for sale threads on the forum. There are a couple floating around on there. You might have to source your own airbag though.

Thanks, didn't even notice the the classified section, there are quite a few in there. Is it possible to adapt the paddle shifters out of a C63 to the 7 speed in the C300/C350? I did a quick forum search and coudn't come up with a definite answer. Some say you need a Star scanner others say it won't work at all.

Hey Flipp, I got mine on ebay. Seller is agestyling_com. I got mine when he had a 5% sale for approx $1360 shipped. All his wheels include airbags. You can also buy without. He also did the paddle delete and covered the hole with leather.

As for the paddle shifters working... There was never a definitive answer so I said eff it, and went with the paddle delete.

I see, thanks for the info. I will keep digging a bit more about the paddles. Someone must've tried at some point.
