Anybody have a heads up on when the sport design wheel will be available for the 991? My dad has bought a 991s but can't get on with the buttons and wants the F1 style shift paddles... he has seen the light!

Had a look on google and the wheel with the paddles seems available since May in the USA etc but OPC suggest it has not been released for retrofit here in blighty and there is no definitive date for the same.

Anybody had one reto-fitted to their 991 yet? Any idea on cost?

MTR - I still can't believe they still use the buttons - just feels awkward to me, but have to admit the PDK change is fantastic - better than the F1. Having the paddles would really make the car in my view

As he has done a few k already in the car I don't think Porsche would offer a swap unless both cars, but will get him to ask anyway.

He has just ordered the kit with the bigger wing - should be here and fitted in a few weeks - will post some pics up when its done. With a bit of luck he may find a wheel to be fitted at the same time!

I understand the wheel is now available for £1000 plus fitting !
Seemed a tad pricey to me compared to previous upgrade costs..

Anyhow .. he has had the aero kit fitted now so thought I'd post up some pics of it all finished ... looks really nice on the road and the rear wing really suits the car.
