   to reply to last comment, im not too sure on the mot situation, but aftermarket steering wheels are usually a direct replacement.

   its under the stage of 'track' at the moment, but clean styling, after looks more than anything.

   I'd also like to know if there is a way to get the airbag light off. Cheers.

   Several ways 1 is to put a resistor (solder it) into the airbag wires under the seats another 1 to take out the airbag light & finally you could tape over the airbag light.

    Worth mentioning on this, that the Saxo Airbag specific steering hubs come with the airbag bridge wires which ensure your airbag light doesn't show.
    
    
    I've just fitted an OMP Targa (330mm) on mine and the size is nigh on perfect for my needs and IMO looks great too. OMP hub with a BG +60mm spacer puts the wheel right in the correct place for me.

    Very nice wheel. My only gripe with OMP wheels is that the centre cap/horn button is gastly, but that's easily sorted by just sticking a black painted bit of plate/sheet behind the wheel instead

    Ive just fitted my 280mm momo team wheel and it is a lovely look but maby a bit small for track use. The way around the air bag light is to buy a 2 or 2.2 ohm resistor ( about 20p! ) cut the legs down a bit bend them over and push each one into the plug that plugs onto the back of the origonal air bag and tape it up securely. No air bag light and a smart as fuck wheel!!
