I'm still undecided on these wheels. I do really like the leather VR6 ones so i haven't had a reason to change yet, but i can see the appeal on these.

Should finish off your interior off nicely!

Thing is though, if we all liked the same things we'd all have purple cars with blue lights. Besides, inc the airbag it was cheaper than a vr wheel.

Its a popular mod with the polo and ibiza boys. Lifts the cabin in those cars, have to see on the mk3.
 
I think the main thing is the large shiny badge. I do have an aluminium handbrake and some details on the gear knob so I think it may tie nicely. Only one way to find out! :lipsrsealed:

Right it is on! The lupo wheel is a direct fit on the mk3. Air bag and horn require no messing with which is always a plus.

Anyways, here it is:





The back bit of the wheel needs transfering, but again direct fit.

The airbag is a bit of a mission though.

What dya reckon then? I like it, and as a bonus its smaller than the mk3 one, so more space for my knees.

I'll get a few pics in the daylight without the flash. I think it looks good in person, expecially as my opinion is the mk3 plastic wheel looks a bit dated.
