What steering wheel to go for ??
Hi all I want to change my steering wheel in my bug and I'm thinking of a flat bottom one,mainly for more leg room but I just fancy a change anyway .
I don't want to spend a fortune as I ve recently spent loads on my Eibach springs, any recommendations and pics to show for ideas will be appreciated 😉

[QUOTE=Jamp1;10442175]No not all b if you have 1 as standard then you must keep 1 to pass the mot.
Has your car got a cat?[/QUOTE
My car did come with a decat exhaust but I have put a cat back on as I didn't want any hassles with the MOT, the previous owner kept a cat exhaust as a spare to put on for the MOT and then would take it back off again afterwards but I couldnt be arsed with that 😉

Mine had an aftermarket wheel in when I bought it so can't comment on how difficult to change really, but I would think there will be two bolts at the back of the wheel holding airbag/horn on, then once thats off theres a main nut in centre of wheel.
But don't forget you will need to buy a steering wheel boss aswell to suit the wheel/car..
Cant see it taking you any more than an hour or two

Ummm them 2 wheels are plastic mate. Would look good I suppose but wouldn't be quality like i would personally prefer.
Changing the cat is a ball ache and something you can't do yourself. However changing the steering wheel is easy and quick to do i have full pictured instructions if you need bud. Also you will new a boss for it to fit.
I have just been through the exact same thing as your asking about haha so im glad i saw this thread :-) .
You like my Gotham wheel or not?

Ref Gotham steering wheel I do like the design and style but I'm not too keen on the wording actually being seen on it, but it's only my opinion 😉
