Please put me down for CF

Also...

Mike @ VRP

i'm glad you guys are liking the paddles... and from me, vic and rest of the VRP team, thanks for being patient, as we want to make this piece a quality product.

I'm totally in for a pair of the CF ones as soon as Vic tells me they work for the 03's...

vrus

I will put them on the eCommerce page on our website once I get the production pieces back.. I will have half Carbon and half piano black.

BenzoBoi

Hey Vic, has there been a solution to these babies workin on the 03's yet or not yet?

vrus

I just need to make a special base to work on ALL the E55.. its not year related.. its MODEL related.. All E55 have different mounting base sizes than the other cars. Problem is the buttons only are sold with the steering wheel. .I cant order the buttons from MB separately.. So, in order to get the factory to be able to duplicate them i need to disable a car and take the buttons out... that's what the issue was.

BenzoBoi

Ahh icic...so by the time you release these bad boys, you will have them work on ALL W211's correct? Thanks in advance!!! I can't wait for them!!!

vrus

Yup.. i'll have a solution for all the cars assuming I can solve this W211 issue.. I'll figure something out.. somehow..

MiamiAMG

Mine too!!

You're the man!

Again I ask this question:

Also are the screws going to visable from the front or the back? If they are from the back, how is the feel having a different surface?

vrus

The screws are on the backside of the steering wheel.. the only way you are going to see them is if you stick your head inbetween the dash and the wheel.

They are also at the base which is nowhere near where your fingers will be touching.

I'll take install pics once they are in the car.

I cant wait to my hands on a set of these

I think Im going to go down the CF route as well... let me know when your ready as my sl55 is in dire need of some toys and customisation!

vrus

My friend who has been helping me to quarterback this project with the manufacturing plant has still not returned home. That is why the installation photos and updates have not been forthcoming.

He just emailed me and said he is expected to be home next week and will test fit ASAP and send me the pics.

vrus

Me too!

BTW, love the Avatar pic!! Looks familiar..

Chris-W

Props for how i want mine to look.. Im scouting out a few of the local banks to see which one is going to be easiest to rob

vrus

A man has to have goals!

slowrey

Any movement yet?

RW C55

anything new?

Bullet Tooth

I'd be in on a CF set, if you can get them fitted to an 04 e55.

Tump43

I'm in for a set of black CF for my C55 when they are ready. No longer want piano black or aluminum.

W211 BEAST

If these will fit my W211 E55, im in for the carbon fiber. I've wanted these paddels for so long, and i never saw this thread before. I was actually contemplating getting an E63 steering wheel for my car. I cant wait til this project is done.

vrus

My buddy who was supposed to test fit them has been pretty busy and didnt get around to it.. I asked him to ship the paddles to the California location so we can test fit them down there..

I may install the CF paddles in the CLK63 first...

W211 BEAST

Please let us know soon. I think about the paddles everytime i get into my car now.... its kind of sad really...

vrus

The paddles are now in Vadim's possession in California. Since we have a greater range of vehicles to test fit down there, he will do the test fitting.. Hopefully we'll get some pics and info soon..

We are swamped right now trying to get cars out so please bear with us...
