This has been discussed before but I always found my S3 wheel lacking, it just wasn't chunky enough and I feel it let down the feel and quality of the rest of the interior.
For obvious reasons the relationship between you and your steering wheel is a very tactile one, and for me that is important, just as important as a comfortable driving position, that's why I looked for a replacement.
I always loved the R32 wheel, it was chunky, sportier, well designed and instantly improved my driving enjoyment, it just felt...for want of a better term, 'perfect'.
The more I thought about it, the more I fell out with the standard S3 wheel and the more I wanted an R32 wheel in my life again, so I made it happen.
Now, a couple of people thought it looked (I won't repeat the explitives and uncalled for criticism by a certain member) naff and indeed i struggled to locate a decent audi badge of the right diameter to cover up the VW badge on the airbag so I ended up using a stick on wheel centre in brushed aluminium which looked ok and in the flesh many people didnt give it a second glance.
I also sourced a new S3 wheel badge and replaced the R32 badge on the rim, the airbag plugged straight in.
Shameless plug : Its now up for sale.
So if you feel your A3 or S3 wheel is too thin and lacking decent feel then this is definitely for you, I guarrantee you will love it.
£250 for the wheel and airbag plus p&p.
