And I am one of those that Think alu trim looks bad so in with the rare dark Brown Lime Wood trims..
Clock with vent $100
All Wood in car: $150

how were you able to make the clock work? im assuming the old plug from behind the ac vent just work for the emergency lights and seat belt extender.

Only thing that I had to do was to move the pins into a smaller conector. Super easy..

The clock and emergency button retrofit looks really nice and well worth the money, I may jump in to the interior facelift as well. Do you mind telling the part number for clock/vent and emergency button panel?
Thanks in advance

I was seriously considering a couple of well priced '13 cabs, either CPO with 6,000 miles and another one with a couple of hundred miles. I was very lucky find my '14 as a leftover, and the dealership couldn't give it to me fast enough, as it was an early fall deal. I realized that the design changes were really worth the extra coin for the new car. I love the dash clock and front end treatment. Probably would have preferred the console mounted gear lever, but truthfully it doesn't matter that much. Plus I stuff a lot of things in the big cup holders, from my cell phone, EZ Pass and garage pass, plus the ignition key.
Have never owned a car that gets as many compliments, ogles and stares. It looks great with the top up and is an absolute knockout with the top down. Best looking cabriolet on the market, with a V8 growl. Good luck with the conversion.
Took these pics taken last week in southern New England. Great top down late fall this year.

GREAT WORK! That is something that I have always wanted to do...put the AMG cluster in the car. How did you do it what model did you get the cluster from and how did you get the correct mileage to show?
Do you have the part number for the clock and vents?
What switch would I need I have a 12 e550 coupe with heated &cooled, seats, parking sensor, shade in the back, sport mode etc.

I get partnumbers for you tommorow. you can use any W204,W212 or w207 cluster. Need to be installed with Star Diagnose progremming. You have to find a W207 that have the corect switch row and give me tha VIN to find the corect partnumber.

Hey Chris, what is the part number for the switch panel I'm trying to buy one for my car. Anything I need to know before I call the dealer? I don't want to sound a sucker when talking to them. The local dealership in my area does not have a reputation for "good" customer service.
