The new facelift flat-bottom steering wheels are here finally! These new steering wheels feature the same thickness as the original RS3, RS6, TTRS and R8 V10 steering wheels with same style of contouring, plus these steering wheels are smaller in diameter than factory round wheels and the original flat-bottom wheels. All are prepared to be plug and play with appropriate badging and a complete piano black trim piece for removing badging is available upon request.
For current offerings please scroll to latest post below.

Yes, all the wheels are available with or without shift paddles. I don't have the S5 unit in stock without shift paddles however, so not on special unfortunately. I do however have airbags in stock to make package deals.
njlakeshoreg- Will be testing these fitments as well. I suspect a B7 fitment isn't far off.
2Point0TDan- Flat-bottom wheels only come with black leather, sorry.
pneks2001- That picture is really small, can't see the shift knob all that well. I suspect you are looking at the side button shift knob:
I haven't yet tested this fitment, but I have seen an A5 with this shift knob fitted. Should be a plug and play piece from what I am seeing:
A4 Post-Facelift Automatic Shift Knob and Boot - $234.00 each (Retail - $270.00)
(Smooth Leather, Black, Grey or Brown Leather, Matching Shift Boot, Black Leather available w/ White, Brown or Grey Stitching)
A4 S-Line Post-Facelift Automatic Shift Knob and Boot - $234.00 each (Retail - $270.00)
(Air Leather, Shift Boot w/ Black or Titanium Stitching)
Well from what I can tell the brown leather in the pre-facelift was a beige, lighter brown, correct? That is called Kamut Beige. The facelift cars have a color called Moor Brown, likely not the same, different color code as well.
Alex I still LOVE my wheel i got from you - it completely changes the enjoyment factor of driving!
I would love one of the new gear leavers - I might need to be in contact with you :)
To any of you on the fence about changing the standard naff steering wheel to one of these I can tell you that you will not regret it! and so simple to swap over

The original flat-bottom aluminum paddles are far more expensive than this, really a deal and possibly even a pricing mistake at the moment. Just another option for anyone interested.
Alex - Can you explain in details the procedure to change the paddles from black to aluminum? Tools needed, time, level of difficulty?
I might get the s-line steering package but want to make sure I can change the paddles myself!
Thanks.
I can switch the paddles here if needed on any of these packages. These steering wheels are a bit harder to work with than the original style in terms of disassembly, fragile as well. If you purchased a package and wanted instant gratification versus waiting on paddles coming here I could run through installation. It's not terribly complex, just needs to be done with care.

Alex, I'd appreciate if you could break down the process for me, I'd like to do it myself!
I can run through the process on replacement of the paddles when items are shipped. Again it's not very tough, but somewhat involved and you have to be forceful but gentle at the same time.
The S4 with paddles and S-Line without paddles are sold and out of stock now, still have one S-Line with paddles available.
Currently am being offered S4 and S-Line steering wheels with same stitching as above with or with paddles, what would people be interested in at special pricing?
The RS5 facelift wheel is available only with shift paddles. The steering wheel is the same thickness as the original R8 V10 flat-bottom, though all the new facelift flat-bottom wheels are actually smaller in diameter than the original thick style flat-bottom steering wheels!
Update on inventory, everything listed above is in stock except the RS5 which is available on order at the special package pricing still while supplies last to make complete packages.
Currently in stock and examples of fitment of each style:
S-Line Post-Facelift Flat-Bottom Multi-Function Steering Wheel Package
(Partial Air Leather, Black Stitching, w/ Black Paddles, Airbag)
S-Line Post-Facelift Flat-Bottom Multi-Function Steering Wheel Package
(Partial Air Leather, Black Stitching, w/o Paddles, Airbag)
Installed photos of the facelift RS5 steering wheel in an A4 coming shortly as well. These steering wheels are a bit thicker than the original style flat-bottom steering wheels, slightly less in diameter as well, very nice steering wheels and ready to install into your A4 in well under an hour. All functions are retained as with your original wheel, though the iNav button is not functional but navigation is still accessible by tapping the right roller wheel.
Packages with different stitching colors are available and do PM or email if you have any questions or other needs: contact@europrice.us
Finally got around to installing the RS4/5 Post-Facelift Flat-Bottom Multi-Function Steering Wheel (Full Air Leather, Silver Stitching, w/ Aluminum Paddles). Also installed the A4 S-Line Post-Facelift Shift Knob.
Really improves and updates the interior. Install of the steering wheel and shift knob was really easy and quick too. All purchased through Alex@Europrice of course!

Looks really good - Full Air Leather wheel is proper way to go IMO.
Props to you and Alex

That looks incredible! Paint the silver cluster trim gloss black to finish the look.

Black trim - dashboard and center console - yes - matte and/or gloss.
Didn't want to overwhelm OP with additional work needed to achieve the 'proper look'

I have someone attempting to fit the newest piano black facelift instrument trim, in about 2-3 weeks. This piece is largely different than the factory two piece trims, but we'll see. Crossing fingers...

The MMI upgrade is another story and I have looked into for another owner. Virtually every part of the MMI system is a new part number, which does not bode well for an easy conversion. I may be working with an owner on this project in the coming months though and will know much more then.
