I definitely could see thicker being nice. @Iconoclast is/was your steering wheel the same as mine? I can't keep up with what year you had/still have

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....

Mine is 2013 SLine Premium Plus. Running boards are ok, but to me the wrong colour. Its a Black edition and silver boards, just dont look right..

What colour and year is yours?

the sad part about all the running boards available for the Q7 is that they are so obtrusive and stand out like a sore thumb. it would be nice to find something a bit more conservative or hidden... even deployment steps would be nice despite the price tag.
