purple highline monster 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 nothing else does!!! i just "binned" my standard wheel and air bag and got an old school BBS leather one with a raid hub adaptor, it was quite hard to find!!! you need the put the plug in resistor mod in the airbag ribbon so the light still works as it should and no faults flag, its only £10 from Awesome gti store, which is cheaper than vw at £22 for exactly the same part!!!!![lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1191261452_2067_FT198201_img_0087.jpg][/lightbox] Link to post Share on other sites

Focker-out 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 You could look for the 3.5 cab wheel, which is basically a 3 spoke mk4 wheel that fits the mk3, it looks 1000 times better than a mk3 wheel and as a bonus its a straight fit Link to post Share on other sites
Toby 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I'd like one of those - does anyone know of one for sale at all? Link to post Share on other sites
Roan 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 3.5 cab wheels are like hen's teeth. I went down the route of getting a retimmed mk3 wheel, along with the gearstick gaitor & handbrake cover. Check out this thread: http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?170859Here's a link to the guy who sold me mine: http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZwww_carsdream_comHe does all sorts of colours etc for all sorts of cars, bit always has a mk3 set for sale. Delivery is reasonable, and with the bonus that you can sell your original wheel etc. back on ebay for a tidy amount (I got £70 for my 85k steering wheel!) Link to post Share on other sites
Toby 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 hmm, that's another idea then - your wheel does look nice I must admit - my standard wheel is a bit worn though so not sure I'd get £70 for it!! Is good to be able to offset some of the cost of the re-trim though. Link to post Share on other sites
