Unfortunately haven't got pics of any B7 parts

As mentioned above, done a few B5 steering wheels.

I can get the plastic pieces on the B7 wheel done no problems. This would be the surround by the airbag which houses the switches, and also the lower "T" section, where the RS4 badge sits

So would that be new plastic/cf overlay parts as well...or overlaying the existing wheels parts?
Thought for the moment...

...if some mindless ASBO keys your car as happened to my previous S4 then stay positive...they may have had a moments glory in front of their mates but they only did it because they're jealous of you being able to drive it every day! Who drives wins!

How long do you realistically need the car for to do a wet lay on the steering wheel and also seperately on the rear diffuser Virdee?

I'm trying to obtain the plastic parts for the wheel on their own. Might even check the cost of new ones from Audi. If I can obtain a set, then obviously I would do them on an exchange basis; so send out my carbon'd set, and you return your normal ones to me.

I have since heard that the rear diffuser is actually part of the rear bumper. So I think this will be a no go. Unless someone knows different.

That sounds great I'd be very interested in that! Are they easy to remove and fit?

Thanks for the info, would you still be able to retain the indention in the wheel for the RS4 badge?

I think the "T" piece at the bottom maybe has 2 screws from behind, and clips

The switch surround is clipped in.

Going to check tomorrow, if I get to work!

Can do the parts now aswell, minus the exchange programme, but would realistically take 5-7 working days, plus postage days.

If it's easy to do I'll be up for the exchange purchase. Good luck getting to work tomorrow :beerchug:

I really like the sound of it, but would want to see what one looks like before committing to it.
