| 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
