Unfortunately not. I'm sure a more handy individual can get it to work but it did require having to maybe cut into the bodys mounting if I'm not mistaken. I just test fitted it when I got it, the housing wasn't matching up to the mounts so I immediately gave up, I wish I wouldve tried harder. Good luck Dynomite and hopefully it all works out. Ill be waiting for pics and part numbers if they are a direct fit.

Here are the pics of the new steering wheel installed. The installation was easy but I think they sent me the wrong color wood. The steering wheel looks lighter than the rest of the wood trimming. What do you think? I'm waiting a response from the seller to see what happens.

Awesome ride!
Everything looks good...
Looks like your front bumper lights are painted out, maybe clear lights would look good as they only cost $41.00/pair.
The wood steering wheel looks good too as the darker one will be darker than the burl trim due to it being a harder wood. So you would have to decide if you like the steering wheel to be lighter or darker than the car's trim.
Which Spoiler did you get? AMG or other? Where did you get it from? Mount the trunk spoiler first and see how it looks without the roof spoiler.
The lip on the wheels are awesome... where did you get the wheels from?
Clear tail lights are sick too... ppix please when mounted!

Thank You!! I actually had clear and smoked before I switched to the painted. I wanted the clean look thats why I went painted..The spoilers and the rims I bought on Ebay..The spoiler is AMG style I think.

Garage Temporarily Empty
Just Finished the first wave of installs. Green Filters, Sports Grill, Evosport painted corners, H&R Springs, H&R Sway Bars front and rear, Bilstein HD shocks and struts, Stoptech SS Brake lines, Porterfield Brake pads, Brembo Corssed-drilled Rotors, NHT Black powder coated Calipers, #2 pads rear, MRR GT1 19x8.5F and 19X9.5R..
I have had it for a few days now and the ride is GREAT! Sometimes the ride is so smooth I forget I have such low profile tires (Until I hit a bump!). Sorry if the pics are not great I had to take it with my BlackBerry. I have a few more mods coming up, let me know what you think so far.

I cannot figure out how to do that......I kinda suck with computers.

Thank You guys!! Hey NJ500 how are the akebono pads? The reason I ask is I went with the porterfield pads and they are suppose to be no noise no dust....There's no dust but they squeak at low speed. It's been a week and still squeaking.
Ohh and to blur out the plate, open the picture in PAINT and just use the eraser tool..

If I remember correctly you purchased your car used right? Exterior and Interior look really new (seats dont have even have stretch marks yet lol) must be low mileage. Where did you get the wheel? and did you install it yourself?

Yea I bought it used with 54k miles on it.....The day I brought it home I took it to get conditioned b/c the leather was very dry..I have conditioned it twice since then and it's looking good now!! The wheel I bought off Ebay and yes I installed it myself using the instructions on this thread (https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w203/139782-w203-steering-wheel-swap-how.html) Took about 15 min..

Though I would update my original post with my most recent mods. Just picked her up this morning..AMG rear bumper painted and installed, roof/roof spoiler painted gloss black, resonator/secondary cats removed, switched from H&R to Vogtland springs, and Ghostrider's camber kit..
The Vogtland spring are definitely more comfortable than the H&R. Just have to wait for them to settle a little it's riding a little higher than I'm used to....He also tried to fix my trunk spoiler but it's still a little off...Probably going to just buy one from JBSPEED

How would you describe the way your exhaust sounds without the resonator and secondary cats? Do the cops give you any crap about the tinted tails?
