Hello Guys
One of my friends said to me was I going to change my steering wheel and suggested the mk5 Edition 30 one to go with the anni theme. (red stitching)
I have thought about it and it sounds good and different, also my same friend has a mk5 gti and I like the feel of the mk5 one it feels better than the mk4 one. So my question is can it be done and will I be able to use the airbag,(hope I never have to :cry:) and in the future I will change the head unit for an alpine screen so could I get the controls to work with the steeling wheel also.
Also if someone is good with photoshop could they photoshop a mk4 inside with an edition 30 steering wheel so I know what it will look like before I go ahead (If it can be done)
-
in a word NO
the splines are different and so is the airbag and indeed the airbag system - getting the electrics to work would be a nightmare
sorry mate
Go for an R32 one

i know :evil:
the question has been asked a few times and even myself looked at getting a MKV GTI steering wheel but it cannot be done :sad:

He also a good point that an ED30 wheel would look good in an Anni a la red stiching. Never mind.
Does the Anni come with a standard GTI wheel? I always thought it came with a special snazy anni wheel . . ?

it would have done
Anni comes with a red stiched leather wheel - tbh i think the red stiching is the only difference between that and the standard 3 spoke GTi one :undecided:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
My boy hood dream is dead haha ( :smiley:)
Thats a bummer the one in the anni is a normal gti steering wheel (I think :undecided:) but I like the feel of the mk5 one cause it has flat bit and looks and feels more sporty and still standard.
Talk about burst my bubble (joking) :grin: :grin:
-
Got to say the MK5 wheel is pretty nice :)
-
Ye I like them, it would have looked different in a mk4 .
:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Now here is a question, now i have seen it done with the cabrio golf Mk3(comming out of the factory), they put a MK 4 wheel on it can they be changed over easily. I have a MK3 CL???
Cheers
dooooooooooooooods :laugh:

might well be able to do so as the MK4 cabrio is just a MK3.5 - don't know for sure

Rhyso is spot on his first post. The R32 wheel is the way to go in a MK4 GTI.
-
Are they not the same as the gti one just without the red stitching and r32 on them.

I'm worried mate - me and you seem to be agreeing on a lot of things lately :undecided: :laugh: :laugh:

have a closer look at the picture mate and you'll see the shape of it :wink:
can you see how its straightened at the 3pm and 9pm positions?
-
Ah I missed the picture cause I cant see them at work they show as red crosses il look on google.
-
just looked at the R32 one and that looks cool. I might be tempted by one of them, is their any chance you can change the R logo for a gti one or blank silver (sorry im very fussy :rolleyes:)
-
Talking of steering wheels (not hijacking), can the centre badge be replaced as mine is scuffed?
-
yes it can. Rhyso did it.
-
You can also get "R" ones and "Wolfburg Edition" emblems for the steering wheel on ebay.

(http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e345/ivormk4/Smileys/no.gif) Not quite. You're right about the red stiching, but it looks more like the Octy vRS S/W with perforated leather. ;)

The Mk4 (3.5) cab S/W is not a straight fit onto the regular Mk4. ;)

yep i went for the .:R logo - its a sticker which you just stick over the existing VW badge :smiley:

i'd rate the R32 wheel over the anniversary anyway, not becuase of the looks, but because of the shape, the R32 wheel sports larger grips at 1:50, the flatter sides and just had a better feel than the standard shape.
