R8 V10 @ MAcarbon for new steering wheel

[LaneS@macarbon.com]

Last week we installed a new MAcarbon thick suede steering wheel in this beautiful R8 V10. the Customer was on a road trip from Canada (as seen from the bugs all over the car) he stopped by our shop in the middle of his trip to get his new wheel installed.

This steering wheel is about 4mm thicker than stock, and is covered in a black suede with red stitching to go along with his red interior.

This car had an aftermarket Exhaust from GMG (fellow R8 talk sponsors) and it sounded amazing!!!


Enjoy the pics!






here are a couple pics showing the change in diameter

The customer must have driven away with a BIG smile on his face. The single best driver comfort mod !

They look GREAT when they are new, but all the ones I have had done before look poo after a while if you drive them a lot as they wear so easily - you get marks where you hold the wheel. Gloves help but... You just need to go in eyes open.

The customer was very happy!

Ian, I agree that if you put a lot of miles on your car, leather is a better option than suede...but suede is pretty darn sexy.

I agree !!!!!!
