Anything can be done, but it's going to be pricey. Use the search function, this has been discussed before.

yes and no, you will need the following things

a)the wood dash, you'll need the four door panels, the center dash, the piece to the left of the steering wheel, the middle wood dash, and the right side
b)the cup holder lights and the mini lights on the AC control knobs
c)the rear passenger door lamps, both sides
d)under the front seat lamps
e)someone to reprogram command to modify the color you want (for the standard three color ones, dont know if you can do for multicolor)

Aeroworks does it, i asked them a while ago, they can add the tri-color ones but i dont know if it is the same entire package you get that's included in the P2 package.
For me although it sucks, next one im getting for sure will it include it at least im hoping

i think every person who buys mercedes in general, expect to pay to 60k and have every single feature in it and if you go the new route then you have to expect that you
wont get everything in it unless your willing to fork over the $$ and special order it. On the CPO side of the ball, you have a better chance of finding everything you want and
not throw $$ out on a SPC but the only caveat is that you have to look around for the ones with the package(s) you want inside of it, not that its impossible. On the first MBZ i had
i didnt know much more than the P1 package but after getting the CPO and reading these forums i should have waited more to find the CPO with the packages i would have wanted more
but im armed for next time.
