I'm excited for this project. Do you plan on changing the wheels too? These feel like a downgrade to me from stock. It'd be sick for some 20" deep concave wheels!
Maybe you'll do a full black series widebody conversion?

Concave wheels dont work on a R230. Looks a bit boring to me and not deep.
No black series for me. I think it looks like a kit car and is not good looking in rear. Front is OK but rear looks horrible.

Well as long as you're happy. I know stock bores some people but these are "cheap" wheels. So to me it doesn't do an SL justice, let alone a 65.

It looks exactly like OEM steering wheel used in 2006-09 CLS550 sport and CLS55/63 AMG and 2007-09 E350/550 sport and E63 AMG. If so, it is OEM part number A21946016039E37. This steering wheel does fit all SL models from 2003 thru 2007 and CLK (2007-09). Of course it also could be an identical looking CLK "version(s)" - A20946034039E37 or A20946019039E37, which also do fit all four - E, CLS, SL and CLK (there are so many different part numbers that all look the same).
The least expensive place I know of getting them from is eBay's "Age Styling" a.k.a. "paramount styling" located in Europe. MSRP is about $2,500. Parts.com sells them at a nice discount, but eBay's seller mentioned above sells them (brand new) for 3 times less!!!
Here it is (OEM) in 2009 E class sport:

I see your car doesn't have Keyless Go (who the hell would order a SL65 without every option??!!), will you be retrofitting that? That's one feature I would really love to put on my C55 if it were possible.

I dont think it was hard at all.For me it was pretty straight forward. But that is so much up to each and one how hard you think something is...
