    Its an absolute doddle to fit. Even AndyP could do it

    Ewan, your car must have had if fitted after as well as yours is an 08 plate as well is it not.

    Dont know about retro fitting multi finction, best to ask Mikey if that can be done.

    My car has multi function so you just change the buttons and holders over instead of buying the JCW carbon covers. The covers are optional as they dont come with the wheel. I only bought the bottom one as didnt want to do away with my buttons.

    It's putting a screwdriver in behind the airbag that bothers me- seems a bit of a faff


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    With the R56 you put an allen key in the wee hole and that releases the bag.

    With the R50,53 do you have to make a wee slit in the indented bit of the bag at the back then release it by putting the screwdriver in???

    Correct, though not a slit, sounds bad having to pierce the outer layer, but, it's invisible given it's location

    Looks lovely. I fancy one of those, but I imagine they are pricey - especially when I am after new golf irons!

    There is a good DIY guide over on TM on how to change the steering wheel over.

    I like mine and really missed it when I was driving with the normal steering wheel on.

    If I had my time again I would buy the leather one without the alcantara.

    Looked at the pic, then Ian's post and, I'm sorry, but I can't stop laughing.

    However, nice job Ian, looks the muts nuts.
