Were there any issues in fitting the r172 seats ?

Around 700 bucks on eBay complete with airbag.Oh that is gorgeous! I know what I could spend my next 1.000€ on: full leather wrap!!
How much was the new steering wheel and was it a straight swap? It really updates the interior!
Check out Sean's thread to give you more of an idea of what the steering wheel entails, I did it and absolutely love the outcome, well worth the trouble:The wiring I imagined, but the fit I hoped to be doable. Anyway, congratulations, it looks stunning!
I think it would be tricky to make electric seats with airscarf work with the R171 central head unit. Mind that R172 electric seats have their switches at the door panel.Nice job on the steering wheel, and the seats look great.
I figured they'd fit in mechanically, but not having had hands on I thought a little tinkering may be needed with the electricals, but it seems not!
Now to find a black electric AMG set with air scarf...!
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for your kind words.Love it! The red stitching looks very classy. Is that a clock on top of the dash? Would you mind giving me some details about where you got it and the install? Your mods are very impressive!
I checked the wiring diagrams for the seats a while back .. I can make them work with R171 switches ...!I think it would be tricky to make electric seats with airscarf work with the R171 central head unit. Mind that R172 electric seats have their switches at the door panel.
Hello to all,
As i promised i am posting few photos of my interior project.
Full leather dashboard and door panels with red stitching.
The seats were OEM made of fabric and come from the R172. We convert them to leather with the new type AMG chrome logo in their back and the exact AMG design.
The whole project were runed by Rellas Art (Rellas.gr), here in Athens GR.
I wraped on my own the seatbelt inserts with gloss carbon fiber vinyl such as decorated trims in dash, gearbox trim and door handles. I have also put the new style steering wheel from W205 AMG. Further info here: http://www.slkworld.com/general-mod...205-steering-wheel-swap-r171.html#post2537618
There are few mods exist such as the conversion of the OEM gear knob into leather with AMG logo and the boost gauge in dashboard.
I hope you like it.
This is true! They are much more comfortable. Completely different from the old ones.Impressive !! Your work is awesome !
And the seats seems really much more confortable.
