Update: AMGfan SL65 Build
They (C2Design) just put on the the new steering wheel and paddles. The wheel is great and the paddles feel tight and have a nice solid feeling/click when in use.
They are going to be ordering the new SL63 rear bumper/diffuser this week...![devil](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/devil.gif)

...just the bumper for now to determine fitment and any other parts needed from MB to make it fit. Pics to follow...
Also, they found the right carbon fiber material to match my interior so the Kenwood headunit bezel will match the rest of the interior (right now its alcantara). Pics to follow...

steering wheel looks amazing. In fact the whole interior looks amazing. Love the look and give it a 10 out of 10.
if you don't mind me asking how much is a wheel like that? I'm doing my carbon interior now and that wheel would look so good.
Awesome Ride

Where did you get the amg badge for the steering wheel ? I would like one.

If you can part with your steering wheel for a couple of weeks, then you can ship it to them to build it out. If you can't spare your steering wheel, then I think you need them to find a steering wheel core (no air bag) that will match your vehicle then they can build it out to your spec.
I've bought 2 steering wheels (for the SL65) from them and possibly a third for the E55. I'm impressed with the quality of the work done on the steering wheel. esp. for the price point.

Speaking of your steering wheel, any update on the controls? Do your steering wheel buttons control your new head unit yet?

The black CF is the perfect combo for this car... beautifull. And I think black in the SL65 is pure magic...

WOW!! Absolutely Beautiful!
OT: Are your exhaust tips black? Did you powder coat or paint them? I am looking to do the same. If you can PM me with what you did, it would be appreciated. Thanks!
