Fitment Information
This steering wheel is built to fit Audi R8 models. Fitment is confirmed before production begins — no guesswork, no surprises.
Installation
This steering wheel can be self-installed if you have the mechanical knowledge and confidence to do so. However, we strongly recommend having a qualified local mechanic handle the installation to ensure everything is fitted correctly and all electronic components are functioning as expected.
If your steering wheel includes LED Shift Lights: ensure your mechanic connects the 12V power cable from your vehicle to supply power to the LED dashboard. Failure to connect this cable will result in the LED display not functioning.
Please note: If you are unsure of the process, we strongly advise against self-installation. When in doubt, leave it to the professionals.

✓ Best Choice
Built to your spec.
Engineered to your car.
Engineered to your car.
Full structural carbon fibre shell
Aerospace-grade — not a cosmetic wrap over plastic
Licensed Alcantara grip
The real thing — tactile, durable, and immediately distinct
Custom stitching colour
Any colour, your call — not a dropdown of four
Factory-spec fitment for your car
Built to OEM tolerances — sits, centres, and turns like it was always there
Individual QC before dispatch
Your wheel inspected — not a sample from your batch
Optional add-ons are exactly that
Genuine personalisation choices — nothing stripped out to pad the base price
Carbon fibre veneer
Thin decorative wrap — cracks and delaminates over time
Synthetic suede grip
Feels like Alcantara on day one — not day 365
Custom stitching colour
A few preset options — not truly custom
Universal adapter fitment
Generic spacing — wobble, misalignment, and electrical headaches are common
Batch QC only
One unit signed off for the whole production run
Add-ons that should be standard
Boss kit, horn button — sold separately to make the headline look cheaper
Plastic or leather shell
Heavy, cheap-feeling, unchanged since the factory floor
Rubber or leather grip
Sweats, slips, and ages badly — no Alcantara option
Zero customisation
One spec designed for nobody in particular
OEM fitment
The one thing it has — MOTTUNE matches this anyway
Compliance QC only
Built to pass a test — not to satisfy a driver
Not available aftermarket
You already have it. That's why you're here.
