Default New Flat Bottomed Steering Wheel Fitted To Q7

So at last i managed to find one and get it fitted..
Had a number of ebay seller that forum members recommended, but non of them came through and most didnt even reply to messages.... They must have to much money..

So i saw these:
Audi A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 A8 S-Line Flat Bottom Steering Wheel *NEW* # 8K0419091CPIXC | eBay

Audi RS4 B8 Avant Quattro S-Tronic Steering Wheel with Airbag # 8K0419091CQNOQ | eBay

Plus others.. I didnt like the bottom one above, as the paddles look massive and spoil the look..
So i went with the £399 and it comes with free delivery to UK.. Sent the seller (Albert) a few messages and he confirmed it fitted and i would have no issues..

So paid for it and it was delivered by UPS so quick...
I inspected the wheel and it was brand new.. So took to a friend and it was fitted in less than 10 minutes..

I'm now a happy man....
Now trying to find the kit that makes the wing mirrors close when locking the car, heard people have fitted the kits, but cant find any??? Anyone?

Here is pic of new wheel....
Dodge

looks good. Thought of doing hte same but other than the flat bottom and split badge, it was a dead ringer for the stock wheel on my Q. any other features? vibration? warming?

My stock wheel looks exactly like it. The perforated leather sides the thumb notches, the split four spokes. Same stitching, not 100% sure my color isn't black on the stitches. Exact same buttons and same size and color paddles.

But I don't have the plastic insert in between my two split spokes at the bottom. And obviously my bottom is round. it's the prestige s-line interior package wheel.

Looks like this one

the thickness on the fully perforated flat bottom wheels are much larger then stock ones(full race air) as well.
