here she is, with 10mm rear spacers fitted....

anyway,over in the states, the MFSW is the stock item, and they are all on about a wheel that's as good ergonoically as the rs4 FBSW, but retains the multi function element... so, best of both worlds it is...viola, the tt-rs steering wheel ( same as new rs6 without the paddles)
massive thanks to CraigyB for sourcing back ordered item, and fitting it for me.
