It should work no problem.

Alcantara is an awful fabric for anything you have to touch with your hands though. Honestly... wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

On of my favorite Jalopnik articles on the subject:

That will work, any Pre-LCI wheel should bolt in and work. The M1/M2 buttons on that wheel will not work though.

The paddles will have to be coded to operate regardless, but this is pretty easy to do or find someone that can do it for you. You'll have to remove SA205 and add SA2TB to the VO and code a few modules. I just went through this on my car and the paddles in Sport+ mode are great!

How long have you had that, does it get dirty easily?

Alcantara is a synthetic form of suede. It is polyester and polyurethane. It is less prone to damage from soils and hand oils than actual suede, but it can still get nappy and gross...

You can wipe down leather easily enough, the same is not true of the back side...
