You may be right - but there is huge appeal in finding a nice D3 for a bargain. I could certainly live with some outdated tech for the price difference.

I've been looking at other brands/models - and you seem to get ALOT more car for your money than other choices. Even comparable 7 series or S Class. Plus - I really like and prefer the styling of the A8 over anything else.

The steering wheel change and bumper swap sound very do-able from everyone's comments.

Where's best to find these items?

Also - with the steering wheel, are there specific MY's or other models (other than TT or RS7) which would be a direct swap? Any pitfalls / compromises to watch out for?

Funny you mention the RS7 steering wheel. I have a heated steering wheel, so my options are really limited but I notice the A7/RS7 seems to have a nice sporty looking heated steering wheel.

I'd be really keen to know whether or not that would fit my car. I'm confident the wheel itself would fit, but would the electrics work?
