Nice - I have one of these along with with it's control module and am trying to decide whether to install it in Audrey to replace the current A2 sports wheel - Could you share a couple of pictures of the wheel from further back so I can see how it visually interracts with the rest of the car's interior? How is piloting your car compared with the thicker rim sports wheel?Thanks to @A2Steve I now have a clean looking black multifunction steering wheel. The black non-multifunction SE steering wheel just needed the multifunction airbag module from my old wheel swapping across.

I’m about to take the plunge David. Very excited!Nice - I have one of these along with with it's control module and am trying to decide whether to install it in Audrey to replace the current A2 sports wheel - Could you share a couple of pictures of the wheel from further back so I can see how it visually interracts with the rest of the car's interior?

(Also I keep thinking a later Audi MFSW wheel would be nicer overall but I'm not sure I could justify the expense!)

Hmm maybe I should send my SE MFSW off to Royal steering wheels to work their magic on it...This car previously had the 4 spoke wheel in it but it was in red and I didn't really like it when nearly all the rest of the interior is black so there's no change in feel. I will sort you a picture out though!
Hands down I prefer the feel and look of the thicker sport wheel that my FSI has but I prefer the functionality of the MFSW. As you say ideally a wheel from a newer Audi would be better (I'm always on the lookout for one from an A3 8V) because that gives the best of both worlds!
Did you swap out your red leather for cloth or was it a previous owner?A drivers perspective picture for you @dj_efk

I am undecided about swapping the gear lever and handbrake to black ones too with doorcards for an A2 with electric rear windows being hard to come across.
The other thing, is my wiper blade resting position too high up the windscreen?
A previous owner had harvested the cars red seats sadly, shame because I am pretty sure that they were heated leather sports seats because it has all the wiring under the seat and behind the climate unit. But then I am also sure that the car wouldn't have been within budget if it had them...Did you swap out your red leather for cloth or was it a previous owner?
You are opening up a whole can of temptation there, trouble is finding some leather A2 rear seats to go with themIf you already have the wiring, why not look into fitting a set of TT mk1 heated leather seats. They can be picked up for about £100.
It's very easy to do, so I may disassemble so that I can take some pictures (one of the few things that I haven't taken pictures of for this project actually). The gist is that you take the trim panel off that covers the back of the boot and forms the sill, this is held in with three T25 screws behind the little plastic covers,then remove the lower area of the main boot seal - you need to peel it back as high as the plastic sides that house the light. The lower trim now lifts out,it does require a bit of wiggling and gentle bending - this has some foam blocks on it which are held on with double sided tape and will probably fall off, but the locations are marked on the moulding so just apply some new tape and reattach.Is there a how-to?
I resprayed the rear wheel arch which had lost its paint due to 15 years worth of having diesel spilled on it. I'm happy with the result
