2001 to 2010 steering wheel change, possible?

Post by mwmackenzie » Sat Aug 13, 2016 2:52 pm

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!

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
