AMG Manufaktur steering wheel

...for what it's worth...a picture of an (original) AMG softtouch steering wheel for a W211 (E55) after it finally got delivered (it took AMG 4 months to deliver ONE out of 9 ordered steering wheels)...and with an additional hard-to-find (and already sold) airbag...

greetingz,

the CLS has a different shaped airbag...the rest/layout/material is the same...

Finding these steering wheels is no problem (for those who showed interest) BUT as it is only available from AMG maufaktur and as their service is worse then bad I am hesitant ordering/selling these steering wheels as I can imagine that nobody is willing to wait 4 to 20 weeks (delivery time is not something that AMG is doing well with).

greetingz,

AMG Manufaktur ONLY deals with a limitted number of dealerships - they do not (want to) deal with all MB dealerships (hence the difficulty getting those parts).

Steve,
Why don't you contact Gericia International http://www.gericia.com/, they are the sole distributors in the UK??
I got my MP Design wheel from them, just log on to the mp design website and tell gericia which wheel you want.
Hope that helps
