Hey all and especially to TimW!

Thanks for the note. Am looking forward to your retrofit. Hrm..does this forum requires a sponsor?

Any chance you might be developing a kit for the non-sport wheel? The reason I am asking (don't laugh!) is that I have a heated steering (available only with non-sport wheel) and I would hate to lose it for paddle shifting....trust me if it didn't get into the negative numbers here I wouldn't complain but it does

Hey Chris,

I have actually thought about that. Is your non-sport wheel the 4-spoke with a rectangular airbag module?

FYI, I did attach a pair of SSG paddles to this regular sport wheel.

If the clearance behind the non-sport wheel is good enough, these set of SSG paddles might do the job just as well.
