IMO the steering wheel looks a little boring.

So I put in a little more sporty one.

It looks a lot better and it´s a orginal steering wheel too so no one will notice it.

Very nice. The old one does look a bit dated.

Leighton · 22 September 2008, 01:50 PM

In a word, subtle!

Lisa · 22 September 2008, 01:56 PM

Elegant upgrade!

Jocke, where do you find such motivation on all these little projects!?? You are simply remarkable.

GBJIV · 22 September 2008, 02:40 PM

That is pretty funny...

Oscar · 22 September 2008, 06:38 PM

Jocke,

The new steering wheel and spoke position does look far better. Nice choice.

No problems then with connectivity/sensor issues with the different looking steering wheel regarding the airbag then.............?????

Its off the same model or maybe an S class , just a year or two newer. Later models have a totally different setup

SSD · 23 September 2008, 05:02 AM

kcmo · 23 September 2008, 05:18 AM

I really like to do some things that make the car more attractive. But I try to use
genuine parts so it will looks like nothing is done and you can´t point out whats wrong.

My company car looks like this from the start except for the 17" wheels.

Then I paint the bumpers and put on a lowering kit and it looks like a new car.

So a little more personal car is always great.

Jocke,

Looks good.........I like the colour too...........

Takes me back to my younger days when I was a surfer and had a van. You know all the usual stickers on it.........

My favourite sticker was "Don't come a knockin', when this van's a rockin"................
