I did not install the spacer. With the telescoping wheel, I can find the perfect spot depending on what type of driving I am doing. Track/Mtn work is with the wheel pulled closest to me, where freeway driving is farthest away, and sometimes in between! Love it!
I didn't realize the steering column is telescopic! Mine moves up and down but haven't been able to work out how to make it telescope. Is there a 2nd lever somewhere?
Under the steering column there is a lever that you pull down, you can then telescope toward or away from you. I'm actually not sure that my wheel moves up and down though. Crazy. I'll check that out when I get home tomorrow. Wonder if there is a diff between NA cars and ROW cars? Hmmmmm
Went to the local race car shop and bought some Puma gloves. Rubber contact patches and external seams and not too expensive. FIA compliant. Should go well with the alcantara rim.
On the subject of maintaining the rim, I was told by the shop a copper bristle spark plug cleaning brush, applied to the wheel with small back and forward brushing motion will bring furry steering wheels back from being all flat and worn. That said I was also told the furry tillers should be viewed as consumables as eventually they get worn out.

Very interesting as the lever you are talking about on mine moves it up and down but not in and out! Perhaps it's a RHD vs LHD thing? I'll have to have another play around with it.

I have heard a clean rag with water is the best way to bring them back to life. So far I have found it to be quite durable, I've done probably 2K of street driving since I had the wheel fitted and there is next to no signs of matting. Other wheels I've had in the past have matted quite quickly. You'll love the wheel. My wife got stuck with my Gt3 all day today as her Cayenne got locked behind our gate which failed...she even commented on how nice the wheel was! Haha.

I use a horsehair brush on my alcantara seats after spot checking with rag and water. Works great.

OK. Just been down to look at my car quickly and there is a lever directly under the steering wheel column, and if you pull it down the wheel will telescope in and out - you need to give it a bit of force to make it move. Could make it move up and down but didn't try too hard. I did not see another adjustment but to be fair I wasn't looking really thoroughly. But, I can guarantee it telescopes in / out. RHD Australian delivered car. Mk II 2003/4 (can't exactly remember but got red calipers).

Love the nomex CS seats. Found one locally but it's only one
The nomex seats are perfect for this car. I LOVE mine. Very interesting that your wheel telescopes. You will know it does because it moves in and out 4 inches or so. So it's not necessarily a RHD/LHD thing... Hmmm....

Yes, exactly it telescopes about 4" at a guess. I'm 100% sure.
