Other than running a "spot the difference" exercise
Leading evidence: 'Run "spot the difference" exercise' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run "spot the difference" exercise' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Certainly not a life or death question but was wondering if it's me growing old or what....
These are presumably the same make of a 996 Targa (2002).
Just noticing an aesteatical difference...is it just me or the 2 steering wheels are NOT identical?
I think one is a Dec 2001 make and the other one is a 2002 make (both '02 models) - would this justify the difference? Shouldn't they be identical?
One is shiny, one is matt.
One is black, one is blue.
One was taken at one angle, the other another.
One was taken one day, the other another.
One was taken with one camera, the other another.
They are the same design, both having the "thumb rests", or ergonomic grips, if that was your query.
Forget about the steering wheel, either my dad has been in there with his lawn mower or the the car in the 1st photo has tiger striped carpet!!! :mrgreen:
Apparently, that is all the rage in "professional" vacuuming!
For the full OPC look the stripes need to be triangle/saw tooth pattern (not just straight stripes)
Both wheels are identical, it's the gloss finish (as replied originally) that is making it appear 'thinner' than the matt version.
There's generally (maybe only) two types of wheel on the 996. The original four spoke type and the newer 3 spoke type.
This is also the same for Boxster.
I always felt that the 4 spoke version has a bit of a Mondeo look about it.
From the base 3 or 4 spoke version, there's variants, such as Tip switches, leather colour and finish and carbon or wood/Rover options etc.
PS - Targa's are only available on a facelift on the 996, so all of them will have 3 spoke steering wheels.
