Would anybody be interested in swapping their 997 Gen2 PDK sport design wheel (with launch control) for the normal, non sport design wheel with PDK wheel? Mine is in great condition. 3 years old. Ideally in the Berkshire, Oxfordshire or Hampshire area?

I've got a less then 100 miles mint wheel for sale but could swap if yours is very clean?

Pm me

I am looking to swap them the other way around. I have the wheel pictured at the bottom but want to exchange for the wheel at the top. Some people prefer the buttons on my wheel to the paddles because you can shift up and down on both sides of the wheel. My wheel is in black and I would be looking to keep the new one in black.

ah I had to pay for the newer flappy paddle type wheel from the OPC, no one will swap back to the buttons that's for sure!

Ah ok,

no one is going to do it for free.

I am going to swap my paddle wheel to a button wheel because I want the MF wheel and will sell the paddle wheel at £400.

Your old wheel is worth around £200 at very best.

Fire2 - was this retro'd via an OPC? Looking to do the same to my 7.2S. £750 seems pretty reasonable. I'm assuming they keep the original wheel?

nope the old wheel is yours you paid for it !!

you just buy a new wheel with no air bag and they swap that over.

the Leather one is ok value the alcantara less so ;-)

I had my multi-function wheel swapped to the paddle change Sports wheel a couple of weeks ago.

My OPC charged me £915, not sure if others will still do it at that cheaper price?

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the 997.1 GT3 steering wheel for the one from the 997.2 GT3 4.0 RS

That looks good!

Why is it not possible? Different wiring?

Shame there isn't the perfect (OEM) combination of paddles with MF. I used all my MF buttons today but do curse pushing a button forward to change up.

I 100% agree, the paddle wheel looks and feels much better but I cant live without the MF.

I'd be interested, but need to check if my OPC will swap it over and maintain the warranty... I can see them being picky about it. They usually are ;-)
