Title: Steering wheels?
Post by: craig4004 on 21 July 2011, 17:08: Just wondered if anyone knew what size the standard 3 'spoke' steering wheel is off a '01 mk4 gti? Also looking to get a flat bottom wheel, would the new scirocco/eos one fit? Cheers

That interior is awesome.

Post by: craig4004 on 22 July 2011, 14:41: I think I'd rather have my face impaled by a mk6 steering wheel than an airbag, they are not pleasant so I would probably run without one tbh. I think maybe having a word with someone who had already done swap and see what the process would be. Thanks guys :)

Is all that work worth it?
