What year? Early ones are a piece of ****, no need to buy a boss kit or anything.

Doddle, remove original refit new. Only 6 small screw/bolts hold it in place.

I'll take some pics later, mate.

Sorry, forgot to take pictures yesterday mate. It's really easy though.

Anyway, I assume your car has a Nardi steering wheel? Should look a bit like this, crap old pic;



The centre bit -horn push- just pulls off, to reveal the retaining screws, undo them and remove the wheel.

You'll be left looking at this when you've removed it;



If you had a later car, you'd need to buy a boss kit, which is effectively this which Subaru kindly fit as standard.



Your aftermarket wheel will have holes in it to mount, like this;



Fix it in place with shiny screws that should be included, et voila;



Horn push should be supplied, fit that when fitting the wheel, should only be 2 wires to connect and you're good to go.

Make sure the wheels are straight when you remove refit though, and it should take you no longer than half an hour to do.

Your horn will still work and indicators will still self cancel. You only have to get creative if fitting a later steering wheel, like I did.

99 Type R steering wheel in my car now;



Hope that helps.
