Yes mate spot on Dean at 4 rings is top notch. Thats who will do the inspection. I did the VIN decoder it comes out as 2007 so not sure why its registered in 2009. Also the guy is going to do another MOT before I take it. So lets see what happens. Ill keep you posted

There is a new RS4 wheel on ebay at the moment circa £600. But if it was me I'd change this round multi function wheel for a flat bottom multi function wheel from something like a manual TT-RS. That is a much easier swap as you don't need to change indicator stalks / move Sport button etc but still get ther looks of a flat bottom wheel and also get to keep the stereo controls on the wheel etc.

Yes there's a few guys on here that have done this. If I'm not mistaken, Faisal has this on his car but done by the previous owner. I think happydayz may have done the conversion.
