Alternative option for steering wheel

I have had this recently done to my steering wheel.
Re-leathered, in punched leather like the original, but as can be seen the rim has been re-profiled/thickened, and obviously the carbon additions.
Compliments the RS4 interior perfectly IMHO. More importantly I was going to go for the Audi Alcantara option, but this doesn't wear well at all! With the thicker rim on this, and the carbon additions, its the best of both worlds.

must admit I quite like that although we have piano laquer finish in ours.
Who did this for you? could it be done in piano black finish?
certainly unique and tastefully and professional finished to a high standard

Not available in piano finish unfortunately.
I know someone whose Alcantara wheel went bubbly within 2 months! Looks awesome when new, and obviously the feel, but not once used!
Cost is around £350 (exchange basis). Not cheap, but then you pay for quality. And is anything with the RS4 cheap!

Yeah - very nice work dude ... can the whole thing be done in punched leather (including the wide-grip rim mod)?

Yep if you want it without the carbon, it should be possible. Probably cheaper too
You can choose whether you want plain leather or punched or even mixed. And you can also choose the stitching colour.

Very nice indeed Virdee.... Arrrgh and I thought I'd easily be able to resist the temptation to modify this car

Any chance you can PM me the details please? - Group Buy / deal in the offing ?
