That does look great!
Can I ask how much the steering wheel was in comparison to say a thicker OEM steering wheel?
The OEM Round 3-Spoke (XPA) is $310.00.
The TechArt with the carbon is $2,550.00. Since I am not returning my OEM wheel as a core charge, I had to pay another $600.00

Outch!!
Love the steering wheel, but 2.5k plus dollars worth
My thicker multi-function steer wheel option was Pounds450, so about $900 - although I guess it would be less than that if bought in the US.
You truly do have a great looking interior though

Quote:The XPA option may be $310 but a new OEM 3 spoke thick wheel is a little less than $1,300 and the round airbag a little less than $700.

Re: Car Arrived Today w/TechArt Steering Wheel - W
That looks great, love the ignition rosette, nice touch, how does the wheel compare in size to the thicker leather OEM one,do you have a picture of the mirror triangles, it looks like the carbon is a very close match to Porsche, overall interior looks mint.
Re: Car Arrived Today w/TechArt Steering Wheel - W
The OEM thicker rim comes nowhere near the size/heft of the Techart wheel especially around the 9 and 3 position.
The CF ignition rosetta looks nice! Maybe I shoudl get the same too! Was it hard to swap or did the dealership do it for you?

does anybody have a photo of TechArt Multifunctional Carbon Steering Wheel (for tiptronic)? A thicker version like this one on the photo. I searched over google and techart.de, no luck.
Doesn't have CF on top but it would look similar to this
Re: Car Arrived Today w/TechArt Steering Wheel - WOW
thanks atomic. It looks good but to be honest, I guess I like the sports steering wheel better on that one 
But IMO it must not have the techart logo on the bottom, and i guess it's possible as we see on the sports steering wheel
One question : I have standart MF steering wheel on my car, could I just switch to sports one without any trouble?

I'm fairly sure that you can but you'd lose the MF functionality. If that doesn't bother you then by all means go for it. And yes, you can request that they NOT put the Techart logo too.

Jason,
The dealer installed the mirror triangles & rosette. When I thought the car would be home before the pieces arrived, I asked Eric at BumperPlugs if it was a difficult swap and he said I could do it myself.
Bingo & Salihbjk,
The match is nearly perfect. It is hard to tell as even the OEM looks different on different parts. It shows differently on flat, concave, & convex surfaces. The pictures do not do it justice. The rosette is 249.00 with core exchange and the mirror triangles are 395.00 which includes 45.00 core exchange. Don't know why they price one with core exchange and one without!!!!
