this is about the steering wheel and I'm delighted you think it looks standard as that's a compliment when it comes to a mod! It's the same moulding but with thicker padding and nicer perforated leather, the standard wheel was very ordinary compared to the rest of the interior.
I had 2 minor scratches sorted by my favoured bodyshop, there's no trace of their work and I'm pretty particular.
It's had 5 previous owners, 4 of them within the first 20 months, last change was in 2011. It came from Bognor Regis and has been up here for 9 months.
It's HPI clear.

The steering wheel looks like perforated leather, is that standard?

I'm presently the owner of his former (standard) S8 wheel.

On the RS5 yes, the one you now own is standard on the S8

I thought I recognised the plate. I came quite close to buying this from the Bognor Regis owner; ISTR that he took it off the market because he decided he wanted to hold onto it for a bit longer, which scuppered me a bit.

Yeah he was a bit ambivalent about selling it (always a good sign) and he ended up needing a change of vehicle for business reasons.

I've had a couple of queries asking, essentially, is the car clean

Some more photo's to show the general condition!











Also meant to add that both offside door handles have been replaced and that it's got the last of the facelift brakes with the biggest discs they fitted to a D3, they are quite effective!

Bump and now at £18,000

If I was in London I could have sold this 3 times over but being in the frozen north makes it trickier!
