FVD Paddle Shift Steering Wheel Installed

It's installed along with EVOMSit software upgrade. A must for all tiptronic owners who hate the shifter buttons.

omar, I also saw that on e-bay, and I believe it is the same steering wheel except it doesn't have the FVD emblem on the bottom. FVD also comes from Germany, maybe it's the same manufacturer. The price is lot cheaper than FVD, so I don't know if there is a quality difference.

Looks great. Aluminum pedals would tie in nice with the rings, horn buttons and paddles.

Yes, it looks very similar. You need the adapter and I recommend a leather airbag vs. the vinyl(it doesn't match the wheel) in the picture which will cost extra. However, you may be able to save some money through that site. I paid a shade under $1,500 for all the above. It's an hour install at the shop. It's not a direct swap and requires some slight wiring so I didn't install myself.

I like the wheel itself, but I think the plain airbag looks a little weird. Maybe because I'm used to the crest in the middle. I wish they'd made the airbag section a little sleeker too, more like the stock wheel.
