not sure on the legality, especially if your car isn't an import and was supplied with an airbag

Had one in my 205 GTi back in the day. Only real problem I found was that my indicator / wiper stalks were a fair reach. As previously mentioned, it would be worth checking out the insurance side of things!

Edited to say I've just seen the previous post so I guess insurance is a non issue

Always worth checking before shelling out, and make a point of asking the call be logged if they're ok with it. Then there can be no change of story when it comes to declaring the fitted mod

I've had quite a few and always loved them. Always go for a good branded well engineered make though, no Chinese eBay tat. It's relatively important that your steering wheel doesn't fall off whilst you're driving!
