Wood steering wheel... Should look magnificent in the Barge!

Now to find a reasonably-priced airbag unit to go in it

[bazking69]

That will be the expensive part, hence why the wheel went for so little without it.

fk that. Get a carpenter to make you a lovely mahoganny centre cover, all varnished up it will look like you have an antique in you car!

I'd rather headbutt airbag material than mahogany but good call... I just hope the wood "matches" the centre console wood!

It's turned up, and is a beautiful piece of kit... Upon checking the part number it's actually a sport steering wheel from a 2001 A4. Am keeping fingers very tightly crossed that it'll fit, and the airbags will marry up... Is the wiring likely to be the same across an 1998 A8/2001 A4?

Am a little concerned it's quite a small wheel but will check later.
