My new steering wheel

Couldn't stand the OEM steering wheel, the size was big and worse of all the tiptronic buttons felt like volume buttons which didn't feel right so i ordered a new steering wheel with paddle shifters. The look is much better than stock and the grip feels much better. Shifting feels alot better now perhaps its all in the mind but it just feels that much better.

can't go wrong with a techart steering wheel. I was gonna buy same steering but instead went with the OEM aluminum inserts wheel.

the car is in hong kong so its a RHD car. The steering wheel was available locally here in hk but the tip steering wheel is twice the price than the manual one.

I agree, the TechArt logo detracts a bit, but the overall look is great!
