Steering wheel, which is your favourite and why?
« on: 12 February 2012, 17:35 »
My Leather 16V leather steering wheel seems to be having an issue with the horn connections not working on it or being very hit and miss which was one of MOT failures, so i am looking for another, any recommendations from the guys that know best :wink: :wink:

Thanks

OEM or aftermarket? Size? I currently have a leather Corrado VR6 wheel on my mk2.

I actually like the oem GTi wheel but I also like the G60 leather which is what I have in mine. You could look at the wiring in your wheel, and is it the connections? You might have a problem at the horn end.

Best one leather from a Rallye the hand stiching is just enough comfort and grip a man needs like wearing cashmere gloves before a session with the misses! :rolleyes:
Don't get me started on the full leather hand brake cover  Like a mask........ :lipsrsealed:

Got this one which I like as it's a leather 16v original, what would I get for this if I sold it to replace for something else?

Oh and this is what I rock, purely because its hens teeth status and the 4 horn setup (plus it came with the car)
