Thank you
I got lucky on eBay and found a brand new wheel with heating and without airbag from Romania. My previous owner was a smoker, likely wore gold large rings and had greasy hands (and maybe hair lol) that resulted in cuts to the wheel, numerous wear marks, frayed thread and oily shiny leather. I would suggest, safest bet is to make sure you have the exact same buttons and features and re-use your airbag to avoid issues - don't aim for an R8 or flat-bottom wheel. Best bet is an S6/S7 wheel IMO. I also transplanted the S6 badge and aluminum shift paddles. It was less than $400 including shipping.
