Folks,
Thanks for the feedback.
The wheel actually is from an AMG, I bought it from a member at MBworld who had put it on his E430 and then sold it (and a bunch of other stuff) when the dealer told him it wouldn't make any difference in his trade. If memory serves, he paid close to 9 for it, I think I paid him around 2 or 250 plus shipping. Definitely my luck that his dealer was a rat.
If you're not in a rush and want what I consider is probably the best price and selection I've seen, *
www.for my mercedes.com* (remove the spaces between the asterisks, this site blocks the link if properly typed) is the place I'd go. Perforated leather, etc., all kinds of options. I've heard some interesting anecdotes about the owner but honestly, if I were in the market for one he'd be the place I'd source it. He has some other tasty items as well.
Matt, re: yours not requiring a reset other than the radio code, that is a puzzler.
I was under the impression that all 210s blanked the windows, seats, ESP, ABS, etc. Does your manual discuss this? Mine is specific about what has to be reset after a battery disconnect, but it is much newer in the 210 line and yours is close to the beginning. Too, I have heard there is a battey mod you can do that stores information, but it seems that should also store the radio. Ah, well, consider yourself lucky!
Gentlemen mods, can we get this thread added to the DIY sticky thread? Seems like it fits.
Take care, all, and enjoy the ride.
