Bum_bum has posted a ghey topless pic of himself on here. Think I'd rather see that again than one of the Mark Webber look-a-like.
Why do women with misano rs cars post pics like the one at the start of this? Cryptic posted one just like that ages ago, wrong, very wrong.
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there!

I think a manual TTRS wheel would look good in there and doesn't require any re-coding for your car.

Don't go for the lesser S4/S-line/TTS versions as it will lack girth and feels wrong compared to an RS wheel; you also need to be careful as modern airbags are dual stage and not single stage like ours. The later dual stage will not operate correctly with the steering wheel harness. Another thing to consider is that your handbrake and gearknob are covered in perforated leather and if you put a smooth leather wheel in there, it would look weird.

As chance would have it...I have a manual TTRS wheel with contrast stitching & Airbag all ready to go into an RS4 - which I shall be looking to sell soon. So if you're interested just let me know.

Will this fit a standard RS4 i.e. to enable the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel. I also assume the S button would have to be re-mounted onto the dash?

If you have the OEM flat bottom wheel you will need to move the S button to the dash and need new indicator / wiper stalk to house the trip computer buttons etc.
I think you also need a bit of a wiring adapter too, most probably for the relocation of the sport butoon and trip computer buttons.
