Carlsson all the way. Brabus is the most overpriced tuner there is for Mercedes.

This is my MP-Design steering wheel on my car. Comparing to Barbus and Carlsson, I think the shape of the steering wheels are 99% the same.

Wow that looks really nice. I like the CF inserts at the grip point.

Nice!

What was the price on the steering wheel or anything else for that matter? How do you order? Can you get that steering wheel with black CF?

Yes, I have ordered the steering wheel from Performance Products. I believe you can order it in black, or silver carbon fiber, or dark wood. And there are 3 types of steering wheel shape. Here is the link: http://www.mp-des********/interieur/171/inex_171.htm

Wow, some really excellent products on the MP design webpage....wish they had a price list though.

I really like the carbon fiber interior panel/trim set as well, has anyone ordered this ? Wonder how much it would cost to install this ?
