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

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.

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?

You can also get "R" ones and "Wolfburg Edition" emblems for the steering wheel on ebay.

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:


  Not quite.  You're right about the red stiching, but it looks more like the Octy vRS S/W with perforated leather.  ;)
