Hi my 2001 S2 steering wheel is a bit tatty after 130k miles so I'm thinking I like the later momo airbag wheel better but without the airbag. I should really have posted this before buying Donald's wheel but hey ho I have bought one now, with an airbag blanking plate but I'll not be getting it for a couple of weeks or next weekend If I can get a pass to go and collect it, so my question is will it actually fit my car?

I like the idea of a chunkier wheel and if it works I may even have it re-trimmed in alcantara

Taking a photo of the back of both wheels is going to be much more informative ;-)

Is it not the same wheel that is on the vx220, so I'd image it should.

Which probably means it won't!

Looks pretty much identical to my eye ;) That's good to know, thanks! :thumbsup

Get used to beeping the horn when turning corners. Never known of dafter horn buttons placement. Always remember a pile of us in stitches many moons ago at Kames when Donkey was lapping with a polite "meep" every time he turned in to the bottom corner :D

I plan to try and fit the existing horn push to the airbag blanking plate :thumbsup
