My custom CF steering wheel is completed :)

Hi everyone, after over 2 months of waiting my CF steering wheel is now completed.

- OEM M package steering wheel modified to flat bottom
- CF top & bottom
- CF V panel with M logo
- CF insert near grip area
- Perforated leather with brown stitching to match my seats & dash
- CF paddles with silver +/- printed

Tell me what you think?

I had it custom made by my friend in Poland.

Feel free to email him for pricing, he is very busy so u gotta be patient for the final product.

He is very popular in the AMG forum. He did my complete interior in CF & the good thing is he doesn't need ur oem parts as core.

No, he sources a used steering wheel (or any parts u need to CF) in Europe & modified it in CF.

U don't need to ship anything to him.
