Swoxy Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Nice.Didn't know they made aftermarket airbag wheels.In my opinion it doesn't look as good as the standard GTI wheel but it looks like it'll feel a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickeyT Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Have you got any more details on that such as stockist, price etc. Looking to get one of those for my Sport as the original airbag wheel has been removed for a momo.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vworks41 Posted May 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I try a screw driver first, but the handle got in the way of the steering column and i couldn't get the right angle to twist it.Even tryed to bend it but it was just to hard and shattered style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> In the end i found a piece of 3mm stainless rod, hammer finished the end to 5mm and filed it off just like a screw driver.I then bent it to 90 degrees with the end being 60mm long and just stuck an old handle on it.Took about 10mins to make, job done style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
