   Don't mean to hijack your thread but how easy would this be to fit?
   
   Airbag gonna be difficult?
   
   Want to keep the stalk horn though rather than on the wheel.

    no problem mate
    
    i dont think they are to hard to fit AND im 95% sure you can keep the stalk horn if you wish.
    
    All you will need to it the wheel in the link you posted is a "boss kit" for that specific sterrin wheel
    
    EDIT - Gettig the steering wheel of is easy, jst disconect the battery so the airbag doesnt go off haha then jst relace with your new sterring wheel really WITH the boss kit.
    
    There is a guide on how to do so ANd how to stop the airbag light coming on as obviously you wll be removing it. Im not sure where the guide is but a quick search will surly find it.

    Airbag light is not an mot failure so just leave it flashing lol.
    
    I have electrical tape over mine cant see it anymore.
    
    Just get the steering wheel and maybe spray the middle bit green?

    Here is the link you will need http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...ag+light+guide
    
    thayt link is for the wires under the seat but its the same concept for the wire behind the airbag unit on the steering wheel
    
    Also you dont have to solder it all if you dont want to, simply puting the resistor into the plug (will be obvious how to when ytou see it) does the same thing, jst put it in and tape it in place

    i had one of these wheels and it fell apart in a month and was soo badly made. you could wobble the whole steering wheel in every direction, was like a marshmallow
