chunky mk3 gti steering wheel, any info on it?
« on: 28 May 2011, 17:38 »
Saw a picture somewhere of a golf with this chunky mk5 look wheel with a mk3 gti airbag. It looked oem.

Does anyone know anything about these steering wheels as I'd love to get hold of one!

I know the one you mean but it is not a mk5 one as that will not fit, don't think anyone knew what is was off.

Someone reckoned it was an option on polos or lupos but I can't find anything on that either.

On a rare parts forum someone mentioned a jap import one, could that be it?

I would guess so as the car I believe was an import.

Yeah that's it. Is that oem then? I can't find any info on it at all.

This is fitted to a Japanese imported vehicle, the owner mentions of various different parts that were fitted as standard.
