Default Alcantara steering wheel airbag

As discussed at today's mini meet of different interior trims we've seen, here is the alcantara airbag from a LHD S8

What is the consensus on this? I'm not that keen TBH. Maybe if the wheel was alcantara too.

I have a spare wheel and bag (without paddles) if anyone wants to experiment...

I think it looks better on part of the steering wheel rim, but it's very impractical as oils from hands cause it to deteriorate very quickly and it then needs recovering again to restore it

Looks nice, but as discussed I think an alcantara dash would be sweet
