new steering wheel
Thought I would get round to putting a new steering wheel in, I always feel a sense of shame when I see photos of your shiny new ones! Anyway I found this guy and he has sent me a pic but the airbag cover doesn't look exactly the same, and I'm worried it won't fit. What do you guys think? Can I buy a cover separately? Please check the pics out and let me know what you think. Thanks!

id make sure the airbag fits as well, that may also be the reason for the different cover sizes if one has airbag and the other dosnt
the pic on the right of the wood/leather one looks similar to the one i have which utilizes an airbag

I think I'll ditch the airbag... I never had it serviced and it probably doesn't work now.... its 15 years old, and the cost of a new airbag as well is a bit over the top. I only drive the car on sunny days and weekends so I don't think I need the securtity to be honest. So, if I don't actually need the airbag, can I buy a cover to match the wheel anyone? Cheers.
