Replacing cheap plastic steering wheel airbag cover with leather from GLS?

Just noticed that the GLS currently appears to have the same steering wheel as the G63, but the airbag cover is a lot nicer than the plastic standard... anyone have any idea if this would fit or done this swap?

GTC, C43 coupe, GLC 300
There was another user here who did a custom alcantara cover and it looked great. This would also be amazing. I wonder if its as simple as ordering the part from a GLS and having it swapped?

depends on which airbag you have, there are 2 different styles.
if you can pop your airbag out and send a pic of the back I may have what you want ready to ship

Problem is if you have non black stitching then this steering wheel will not go well with the rest of the interior.

If you would like a stitched replacement or custom design, feel free to email us.

Installation is relatively easy, you can follow this video:

I think the gle is a different airbag.

you can buy custom airbag covers, with custom stitching online. I bought one from here for example:
https://bergautodes********/en-us/pr...-airbag-covers

there’s a video on YouTube for an e class that shows how to replace the airbag cover.
