I don't think Audi are very good at steering wheels. Even the 3 spoke is nothing to shout about in terms of design.

No you have to give BMW there due where wheels are concerned. Far chunkier and sportier for me

Correct. The MFSW has tiptronic. The link in the original post shows the steering wheel I'm putting on.

Some lovely wheels in those pics haha

Project Customs in Leeds are fitting it for me as they're doing some work on the car anyway.
Craig there is a great guy and I've given him some info from this thread with links you guys gave me etc. He said he can do it no problem.

Until it is a problem. Best of luck. Other than having to smoke a pipe in old man slippers, How's your C5 ownership been thus far?

Oh please don't say that :| I've had enough hassles getting things done as it is

It's been really enjoyable thanks. The performance has blown me away. Enjoyed making it mine if you get what I mean?! Making tweaks etc

It feels like a special car. Seems like I've got a really good example too. Unit 20 have given it the thumbs up which is nice. Having it transported down for the Monaco Grand Prix, then on to Italy afterwards, then home. Really looking forward to it.

If you offered Alonso the RS6 or his F1 car, he'd take the Rs6.
