Alcantera Steering Wheel Option on '03 TT Coupe
Okay, I've searched the archives, but to no avail. The Audi Web site and the '03 brochure do not feature a picture of the Alcantera steering wheel option.
I'm currently dealing on an '03 TTC 225, and one dealer asked me if I wanted the Alcantera steering wheel. I said, "I don't know...what the hell does it look like?" Nobody seems to be able to tell me.
Thanks, all.

Look at the suede-like stuff on the backs of the seats and on the airbag cover
...(the airbag cover on the outboard bolster of the seats). That's alcantara; it's meant to be a more durable, washable suede replacement. Good stuff. I wish I got one, but I bought off the lot.

Ah, yes, that suede-type leather...I see. Hmmm.
Thinking I might opt to save the $175 and stick with the smooth leather. I love it on my S4.
The Alcantera I do believe would eventually rub smooth and look bad. In pristine condition, I think it's great and a potentially worthy option. But after only 20K or 30K miles, it might be regretted.
