Default AMG Paddles for sale on ebay.

There are some genuine AMG paddles for sale on ebay 320126564317

Can they easily be fitted in place of the buttons on an SLK55?

You can buy cheaper from dealer than that ebay seller.

that looks nice but my concern is the control.
because the buttons on 2005-2006 SLK55 designed as left side downshift and right side upshift. On the other hand, the paddles allow you to up and down shift on either left or right side.

AMG paddles and switches are always left one for downshift, right one for upshift. If one switch/paddle can do upshift and downshift, they are not AMG switch/paddle.

AMG paddles/switches (they are the same thing just with a paddle fixed onto the switch not a button) have always been one directional, standard MB's allow for an up/down shift on either paddle.

You cant fit an AMG paddle to a non AMG car both paddles would shift up

So: I have a 350 with shift paddles. Can I direct swap with AMG items? If the answer is "yes", Dan, would you please tell the part number of AMG paddles?

Thanks
