Hi, My first post - I hope it helps...
Am collecting a new SLK 280 on March 1. It was delivered to the UK dealer a week or so back without paddles, although I specifically ordered the 7-G gearbox and specified paddles. It seems that it was a factory error. Initially I was told that paddles could not be retrofitted, but after realising that the only option that I would be satisfied with would be a re-order the dealer fitted a brand new steering wheel with paddles. They also updated the relevant software. So it seems that it is possible, but would not like to guess the cost of a new steering wheel if not covered by MB...
