    Does anyone know if the R56 Steering wheel fits the R53 ?

    I am not concerned about the airbag and horn wiring as I can sort that out, I just wasnt sure if the main shaft has the same number of splines or not ?

    I want to change my exsisting wheel as Im not a fan of the two spoke style so I fancy upgrading to a nice 3 spoke one, possibly a JCW one if I can find one for a reasonalble price !

    There's been a few on eBay recently all minus airbags though ..
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.
