Change Shift Buttons to Paddle Shifters

Does anyone know if this is possible? I think I might have asked once before - but likely a year has passed.

I did it. You buy a sport wheel with the paddles.

I figured that would be the easiest way.

What did that cost you? Parts and Labor.

try an 09 wheel

The 09 S class has paddle shifters as standard equipment (with the standard wood/leather wheel). Maybe this wheel is less than the $2k sport wheel.

seems like the shifters would be retrofittable
id like the aluminum paddle shifters on my wood and leather wheel
seems like it should be compatible??
