Steering wheel works for C55. Shifter does too, might also work for C32.

I've never seen this before though. The SLK PP package, IIRC, has alcantara lining on the inside of the steering wheel only I thought?

So, since nobody gave him any offer, I was able to buy this off from him for 380 shipped.
The package came today, and as I took out the steering wheel, I can tell its an OEM piece right away from the quality its built. The alcantara/perforated surface feels much more better than our stock ones.
The shift knob was included as a package. Although the shape of it is exactly the same as our stock C55 ones, its covered in alcantara/perforated leather as well.
I would say this is the best steering wheel/shift knob combo I can get for $380.

I'm going to put them onto my car during the weekend, and depends on which shift knob I prefer (brabus one or this), I'll have the other one up for sale.

Pictures will be up in a moment.

When I looked at the first pic, I thought the same thing at first.

Took a second to realize those were the plus and minus signs for the paddles.

Did the seller say exactly what SLK that wheel came off of?

The picture attached is that of a Performance Package SLK. It's definately not the same thing!

That's a mean setup. Looks sick. I unfortunately don't have any alcantara, but my wheel did come with the philips and the flat head screws.

I'm putting it on during the weekend, i'll def. post some in car pictures.
About the boot, its wrapped on a bracket which snaps onto the trim (its the same on our w203). All you have to do is unsnap the bracket, take the boot off, and wrap it on the bracket on the w203s and snap it back in.

For the price you got a steal on that one! Looks fantastic. What deck are you using? Looks like a pioneer? I am thinking of going that route....
