Hi!

I have the aluminium shift paddels on order from a company that deals directly with AMG. Racing arm I should have them in my hands in about three weeks. The cost will be incl. shipping 720.00 Euros.
They should work with no problems.If you look very close on your 2006 55 as mine you will see there actually is a outline where to remove the material. The cutout is the size of the paddle shifters. However all systems after this modification will not work. You will have to completely synconice all systems,seats...windows ...mirrors ect. and have the air bag reset by MB. If you are not familiar with this type of install i would highly recomend you would let a benz dealer do it for you. I may be able to order the shift paddls for you when i get more info and details. HOWEVER if you lease the car- NO ,otherwise we will need serial numbers and options.

Best Regards
