CLA is not exclusive to the RS, so my guess is no... Saw it on a Turbo; just a plain but thicker wheel with alcantara covered hub.

^ Oh, I don't know... The thicker wheel may be worth loosing the yellow stripe; at least for some.

haha maybe we should save the 1100 from the factory, and go custom make a real thick one with stripe.

I know tech art and gemballa makes really cool ones, but they charge a fortune!

Certainly, there are a lot of aftermarket choices... I can recommend Dallas Custom Steering Wheel, should you decide to customize the standard wheel. Excellent quality and very reasonable prices.

That is good news, congrats! Did you have a specific build day for the previous April build?

I would hate to lose the yellow strip on my steering wheel, at least good for 0.10sec. per lap....

April build, only allocation...any idea when the last possible moment for updates or changes to specs usually occurs (ie one month before build etc etc)

Mine was closed out about a week ago, I found that out when I wanted to make a change.

My thicker steering wheel was confirmed today, but the dealer could not confirm that the yellow stripe is staying. I asked him to find out, we will see.
