Hey Vic,

I'm glad to see your still on the case here. I"m still in for either an ALU or CF set with + / - when they are ready.

Its time you MNG and I get together for ribs at La Castile - Its way over due.

Hey Vic, sent you a PM. I am selling my E55, please refund deposit sent to you back in April. Sorry, these couldn't have happened sooner......Thanks!

Haven't heard anything for awhile on this subbject. I'm still interested.

I'm still interested, let me know about the website

me too :slap:

I'll take a set!! "-" and "+" great idea!!!

Count me in for a pair.

Count me in too if they'll fit my 04 E55 VIC.

I'm very interested if the price is reasonable.

VRP Headers to be installed shortly....can't wait.

If you don't want to make them, would you sell the specs/drawing for them so I can take them to a machine shop?

It's still in the works... I am waiting for a quote from the manufacturer.. My friend was travelling to Asia so he is visiting the factory and will get back to me..

They are going to quote me on a Carbon Fiber version and the Piano Black version...

Sounds greta! Keep us posted with regular updates.

:y:y:y

Got a quote back from the factory... This is based on 100 pairs...

We've redesigned these so that they will be 2 pieces now.. the paddle itself will be separated from the mounting section so that it will be easy to adapt these for different cars.. we will just make different bottom sections based on the car.. the top paddles will be generic and work for all of them.

The bottom portion will be made out of aluminum.

$249 for piano black paddles

$299 for Carbon Fiber paddles

I might be able to do this cheaper but I am guessing at the landed costs at this point.

I am in talks right now to try and get a prototype built in Carbon Fiber so I can show it to you guys..

I'll post updates as soon as I hear back.

Im still in for the black..You already have my deposit, so let me know if you need the balance and ill get it right to ya!!:y

Are the C-class and SLK-class paddles in piano black available now ? Or is the 1st production run sold out ? :)

I'm guessing these won't on my 06 R230. I have +/- switches on the left and right sides of my steering wheel.

post some pictures an a quick instillation giude when you can, thanks.

Whenever you're ready to sell some for the C55 AMG I'll buy a set!

No brushed Aluminum?

I never ended up doing the production run... It was just bad timing...

Once I get these 2 prototypes built, I will run them.


I am pretty sure the mounting base is the same as the other 2006 cars.. if so, it will work for your car also.

I want the production quality to be perfect.. Making brushed aluminum is difficult process from what I am told (if its just a painted finish over plastic).. If its real aluminum that's a different story.

Real aluminum that is brushed paddles would be awesome. Not painted plastic.

That's what I want, but I am worried about the weight..

The stock 06 paddles are a brushed aluminum but they are heavy and because of that require extra mounting screw to secure it to the steering wheel..

I'll post more info once I have the data back from the manufacturer.

Regarding Paddle Shifters
 

Please put me on the list for 2004 e55 use. Aluminum Add +/-

crazy... but this would be cool... keep us posted!
