Depends, Porsche anything can be fancy, but then mine came with both air bag support and paddle shifters (got a fliptronic now). 320mm. Certainly wasn't cheap at the time.
New ones are affordable, the same essentially w/ airbag. Heavy as you wont believe lollll works man - a sport car must sorry
Silberpfeil 320mm perforated leather - Carnewal
Pros: all of them - can't stop driving
Cons: 50% vision lost on the dash gauges, fault lights are plenty visible for my needs!)

could be 340mm also, memory failure, I'd need to check. Measure yours and see what's available for you.

What was the original reason for using the wood? Wasn't it claimed to be lighter?

particlewave, how did you change the instrument cluster illumination?
Is it just the bulb, or did you replace the LCD's?

Just bulbs on the earlier clusters like mine (and yours). On the later clusters, you have to completely disassemble the cluster and replace surface mount mount LEDs.

WOW, I'm surprised how well priced this steering wheel is, especially with an airbag. I might have to look into it...
