Hi Pieter. I had this on my G Superleggera. It's very difficult to prevent it getting slightly greasy from your hands, especially with spirited driving, and then tends to mat up. I also found it difficult to get it back to looking good despite my OCD tendencies. Personally I would avoid, much as I like the look of it. And yes I think the Alcantara is better. I reckon the best answer would be one of the carbon fiber steering wheels I've seen on this forum. Hope this helps in your decision making. Cheers.
