« on: March 31, 2011, 09:32:20 pm »
With my r32 the goal is to gradually get it more and more track focused, at the moment its partially stripped out,kwv3, recaro pole positions, team dynamic 1.2 and r888. i want to take it a little further so ive brought a after market dished suede steering wheel and im going to flock the dash but my question is has anyone seen or got any pictures of a mk5 with after market steering wheel and paddles of some description so that i dont lose the paddle sh*t function. Im thnking vwr are proably going to be the best people to speak to unless anyone had any other suggestion?

i am after something lke this;

Each paddle has just 2 wires on the OEM SW... so providing you can make the connection via the steering wheel boss Im sure that its possible!
