Fvd steering wheel with tiptronic paddles

Anybody installed one of these steering wheels (or any other with paddles instead of the buttons) on there 07-09 turbo and happy with the results? I am considering purchasing one and looking for some feedback. Thanks

I installed the FVD paddle shift steering wheel in my 07 tip. This is the way the car should have come from the factory. Much better than pushing the stock buttons on the factory wheel. Don't think twice about upgrading.

These are gorgeous.

Pricing isn't so bad too. $1300-$1500 dependent on leather, stitching etc.

2nd One is Gemballa but I believe they use the same Core.

Hello and thank you for the replies. I spoke with Rhonda from FVD and she told me they make a wheel with the multi-functions, which is what I have and am interested in. I was hoping they could just modify my carbon/multi-function wheel but they cannot.

What is it like to install?
Plug and play or slight modifications to get it to work?

I'm really liking it.

Plug and play no modifications needed. Very clean install looks factory. Ronda with FVD is fantastic to work with.

Cool.
I'm going for the multi function wheel with yellow stitching.

It states that on the site that a ADDITIONAL ADAPTER REQUIRED (Please specify model).
Is that included or sold separately?

Cheers.

It sold separately. Ronda with FVD is very good, she helped me with my order.
