Sorry Friend.

I just finished installing a set of Aluminum Paddels on my 2006,SLK 55
$ 1.100.00 Can. plus duties. Installation $ 850.00.
If you have the 2007 Paddles they will not fit. They are shorter and the seating and mounting holes in the steering wheel are not compatible. It is not possible to modify this steering wheel .I have a set in stock 2007 as we are waiting for a set from Germany for a 2006 AMG CLK and found out real quick ........no go . The paddles mus tbe car and Year specific.

Best Regards
James G.
