I am based in Singapore. I went up to my workshop who does MB vehicles and requested him to order a steering wheel for my SLK with the new shift paddles. Cost is approx. US$1,030 with the new pair of steering wheel including labour.

Shifting mechanism at the steering is great for me as it rectifies the inconvenience from using the auto stick .
