No, I meant to something he doesn't offer or something that he has only one or two cores. There is no core exchange for those C63 steering wheel above. Email him directly if you want to get the best price for your buddy's car

MK4,

Didn't you also get the paddles in CF? Your installed pix of v2 shows original paddles. Was it a preference or there's something different with the CF paddles?

It's just personal preferences. I like the silver of the stock paddles to contrast with the carbon and black of the steering wheel and airbag. I feel that carbon paddles would make it too dark/dull for my taste. Other loves their carbon paddles though. It is just matter of options

Why would anyone want to wrap magnesium anyway?

Sounds awesome Khoa.

What pieces did you send them mate?

Look forward to seeing the results. If it's anything like the steering wheels, should look awesome!

I shipped him my rear seat tray plus the isX50 window switch cover and center console to get done in carbon. One customized request that I'll reveal once it's done.

Received my Version 2 steering wheel 2 days ago... as promised, 3 weeks production 4 days shipping from Japan to Canada... very satisfied with the service & great communication from the seller.

I ordered the CF paddles, so anyone managed to make them work yet?

Here are few pics, installed pics in May when the car comes out from hibernation

Looks good.

Got a long weekend here in the UK for Easter.

Should get a chance to test the electrics from the carbon paddles with the OEM ones.

If that works, looks like the carbon paddles themselves are the issue.

I'll then need to re-install my OEM paddles and send the carbon ones back to Khoa I guess.

Shame you aren't doing yours till May. Would have been useful to see if yours worked or not.
