Uhm.. no before of the stock steering wheel. I was too much in a hurry to install. Yes I know it still says TTS..I'm still waiting for the blank badge.

Would that be the same flat bottom steering wheel from the TT-S? It looks awsome...

Looks great, especially the flat-bottom wheel with contrasting stitching.

The headlight conversion cost about $1000. The steering wheel was $700ish

Default Its a TTS steering wheel. The install was plug and play except for the airbag harness which required
modifying. But I just followed the steps that people used to fit the same wheel on a B7 and it worked.
Then I needed vag-com to get the paddles to work.
