Looks terrible Clive, you should send it to me immediately, as the combination of black steering wheel with grey car, just doesn't work!!!

Seriously, looks superb Now get it wired in and working.

That's just the sort of encouragement I need, as I was still a bit iffy about it suiting the D2

I have now added my vote

What are Audi playing at? I went over to pick up some G12++ coolant from the dealer and a new RS 6 was parked in the showroom. I touched the mirror expecting a metal type material like the S8s but no. The cheapest feeling plastic ever, oh and then the front bumper, I was able to push it a little like like a polystyrene cup type material

The way things are looking, my existing multi-function wheel could soon be up for grabs...

Can you see the pics or is it just me...??

Hi Clive, I'm new on this forum and very happy to read your post because I planed to make the same mod on my S8.
Did you sell the R8 steering wheel beacause of the airgab problem?
