VW Steering wheel identification pics
« on: 01 May 2012, 22:17 »
Hi to all.
Bit of help required to identify the exact steering wheel in the first pic below. It's leather and I have seen similar without the plastic bar at the base in most corrados, have seen same wheel but with a silver bar at the base in a polo and have seen this wheel advertised as an edition blue golf wheel on German Ebay and also actually in a Mk2 edition blue in uk. Help appreciated.
Also of possible interest is the Votex wheel i have just picked up for my Atlas grey mk2 Golf gti 8v :laugh:

The bottom one is off a MK3 (or mk5 depending on who you talk to) polo i think

After market Votex Sam, most likely an early 90's Dealer option, and a very expensive one at that, theyvwere usually over £300

My Votex is NOS, mid to late 80's, it hung on the wall in the parts department at Castles VW Leicester for many years, now its on my car :wink:

 :smiley:Many thanks for that! Been wondering about the polo wheel for a while. Will stick it on the g40 site.
Just fitted the votex wheel and it looks grand! Golf is a 91 so that works. Like the 80,s option tho.
Cheers.
