Hello All,
Some advice please. I have a 911 Carrera 4 (2013) which is a lovely looking car in Grey. The only thing I would like to change is the steering wheel as it is somewhat plan (no silver spokes just standard with silver gear changing buttons).
If I change it will it impact the value of the car negatively? If not where is the best place to source and have it fitted?
All guidance appreciated.
Cheers
Sean

No, just hang on to the original for when you come to sell (and maybe remove and sell your new one as they are megabucks)
Official Porsche Centre is a good source for parts, and some of the independent suppliers such as Carnewal or just keep an eye out on eBay, parts for sale here. _________________ "911- the guilt-free supercar"

Definitely no negative affect on value and common modification. Ideally keep the bogo button wheel and purchase a sport design with paddles (bogo to be refitted if you sell)
Sport design wheels do come up frequently second hand, expect to pay circa £500.00. Fitting is easy and diy without issues (straight swap) no coding required. Literally a 30 min job max. _________________ 991 C2S PDK - X51 430 powerkit, Carbon GT2 folding buckets, PCCB, PDCC, PSE, Carrera S alloys, Sports design bodykit with ducktail and Alcantara steering wheel.

Assume it’s important to make your insurer aware of this change? Did it cost you more on the insurance when notified?
Thanks again
