What a difference!
Discussion
Since buying my S3 I have wanted to change the steering wheel but encountered numerous problems and it has taken me some time to do it.
Last night i fitted a leather replacement to the wood skinny wheel (thanks Roy
) and it is amazing the difference in relation to the vibration. It feels as if I am driving a standard saloon rather than the S that used to transmit any slight road bumps straight to your hands. I thought it might make a slight difference, but am absolutely amazed.

aww... no fair! I've told you that I will put up some pics post DB work...! C'mon Shnozz, play fair...!
ok mate - post weekend. interior still needs some work though to get where i want. When summer comes (and the new house gives me garage and space to work in
) the carpet will be replaced with metal flooring - elise et al style. mats will be bolted on top.

Phil, I'm sorry it has turned your S into a saloon!
That wooden wheel must have been a real boneshaker.
didnt feel like a saloon for long

Is this a reference to MGFs being a hairdresser's car?
Perhaps you are a comedian after all

If I had driven with the roof down this morning, I would have got my hair washed for free - it was pi**ing down here.
