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

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!)

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

how about Fred's DLR solution for the clear corners? Oh...there isn't one yet?
I could imagine, there is a market for such a solution

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

Aluminum gauge rings are an easy way to spruce up the interior:
Exterior color matched piping on the seats inserts:
Cover interior panels in leather:

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.
