My New Brabus Steering Wheel and Leather Airbag
The Euro Pimp brought me my newest mod on his latest trip. :0) Here's what my steering wheel/airbag looked like before:
Not bad, but it gets tiring to look at after a few years. Here it is now...
Not only does it look a million times better, but it feels so much better than the old wheel. And the leather airbag is a nice little touch as well. :0)

The steering wheel really looks good. A definitive good choice. It seems that the color is exactly the same than your leather, did you specify your leather color when you bought it?

Josh,
I got my led's from ddp and I tried to install them today, but it seems that they don't fit. Was there a special way that you had yours installed? Did you have to grind off 1 of the prongs?
The leds I got are
#MB403-B12-CB-BP
#MB403-W12-CW-BP
Thanks in advance

I think the foglight should be pretty easy to replace. If it's the angel eye that blew out then you'll have to send it to Hella for them to get you a replacement.

Can you just go over to the dealership and buy one or do they have to order it for you? Also, how much does one cost?

It takes a couple days for the dealer to get from the factory. Infra-red key & little metal key costs about $140 total...
if you are good with ur SA (like I am, hehehe) he might be able to hook you up with a new key....

The one Josh has is a Brabus wheels, which retails for well over a $1,000 (i think it sells for about $1,200 from Brabus)
Hey Josh, what happened to you keeping to the CARLSSON brand....
I seriously think you should gimme that brabus wheel to match my suspension...

Couldn't find a Carlsson wheel and even if I did, the price wouldn't have been as good. I'm not too worried about mixing this tuner in, though - there's only a very small brabus logo on one spoke and the other brabus embossing is on the bottom of the wheel out of view.

Is it just me or do the steering wheels look different? The old one looks like charcoal and the new one look grey. Hmmm.. its 3 am right now, maybe thats the problem. But yeah, is it charcoal or grey?
