    Thanks mate,

    how in the world do you post the pics like that?

    Need to ask a quick question, do all the steering wheels come ready to be installed (wheel and airbag complete), do I need some sort of harness???

    In flickr select: "Grab the HTML/BBCode" and copy the whole lot. Then in your forum post, select the image icon and paste the copied text in there. Remove everything other than the actual html link to the .jpg file and include this within the IMG and end IMG container.

    You can have links off to the photos like you've done but it means you have to click through to them.

    Some of the other photo hosting sites work a little nicer as they'll give you the "http://www.whatever.web.address.com/filename.jpg" straight off to copy/paste but flickr is a little more work (at least I haven't found an easier way yet).

    Not all steering wheels come with airbags. It's often cheaper to buy with the airbag than buying this separately as then you'll be up for 2 lots of freight.

    I'd have to go back and look at it again but I think I remember that there was an option to buy a cable along with the airbag. I'd suggest getting it mainly if you're going to sell your old wheel, you can sell it as a complete kit and not minus the cable.

    There's people with older Golfs that will look to put the newer steering wheel in and they'll need all the bits.

    You didnt need them.. makes me laugh everytime I see someone posting that you need arches with 255 rubber.

    Fwiw, it looks much nicer than with them anyways.. its why I got them.

    You're right, it does look a lot better with the arch extensions on.

    Now on the hunt for some suspension, steering wheel and couple of other bits

    I didnt have time to do a write up on the install process, I did it on sunday morning before I had to go to work.
    The first corner is the hardest one, the instructions are terrible. After the first corner, you can do the last three corners in about 2hrs all up.

    If you or anyone else needs any help please dont hesitate to email, pm, sms or call me. My number is 0411392083
