    Mate its a fair price seeing as they fetch $300 USD with the airbag and you will prob never see one up for sale here. Its certaintly heaps cheaper than the 400 euros and looks way better i say

    We'll have to agree to disagree then, I think $500 for any second hand wheel is way too much.

    I've seen airbags go on ebay for around $50-60 second hand. I don't have any desire to argue, just my opinion, surely I'm entitled to that?

    no-ones arguing its all cool.
    At the end of the day a second hand item is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

    does anyone know what exactly is involved with a steering wheel boss kit. I've had a quick search on the net but I'm still not sure wat exactly it does. Is it just an adapter plate basically, or is there more involved.

    I just ask as I'm looking to put a Nardi wheel one my 1 since the passat wheel I want is seeming a bit difficult to find!

    It's basically an adaptor, not really a plate tho, more of a drum that sits on the splines of your steering shaft at one end and bolts to your steering wheel on the other. If you have an airbag steering wheel be very careful as replacing it with a non airbag wheel will void your insurance and is also a defect.

    Have seriously considered going without an airbag so I can run a Momo on mine but not willing to take the risk
