I've been thinking about this all day, and I think I will go for the Yellow strip one. Reasons :
- White stitching will match my other stuff - The DCT paddles from what I've seen cost 300$ minimum, I have no issues with standard peddles functionality. I could save the money and buy LCI blackline tail lights later. - I will keep my existing steering wheel, and do something special with it down the line. Now anybody has part number for that alacantra cleaner?

Yea... I like the M trim too. I have it with/on my M3 wheel.
![]() PS: Mohammed I think you should also wrap your speedo/instrument hood with Alcantera too - to give your car that extra touch. ala 1M look. ![]()

Ya I was gonna say do the m wheel trim. I did the alcantera trim with my m3 wheel because t think it contrasts good together and matched the shift knob and boot. But if I had done the alcantera perf wheel that would have been too much.

Took me 30 min to swap my wheel. This vid is very helpful for removing the airbag. If you look In the DIY section that guy Andy has a thread called remove and install the steering wheel trim. That will show you how to swap multi function buttons. Very simple tho. Just 3 screws holding the trim in and 1 screw on each side for multi function buttons.

The only good thing is that fasteners cost so little in Germany... like 0.30 euro cents per nut. In the states they would charge you $3 each! ![]() Maybe you can sell the other "extra" cleaners to a fellow 1Addict. ![]()

Thought I would share the current state of my steering wheel. I still can't figure out why the trim blistered like that, anybody has any ideas? Would love to avoid this happening to the new one.
Also replacing the buttons since the color is gone on volume button and light comes through the corners.
