    Just be cautious doing this, and following the below at your own risk

    1. remove the airbag fuse and/or disconnect the battery, u dont want that thing going off in close proximity to your face.
    2. 4 torx (sp?) screws on the back of the wheel (you will need the correct tool)
    3. disconnect the wire.

    fitment is the reversal. you going to die the wheel or paint it?

    Try pushing the centre of the wheel in as you may not have an airbag.

    And my steering wheel has philips screws behind it.

    VS Equipe I say would have one. If it's written on the steering wheel centre 'SRS airbag', it does, obviously.

    Follow ephect's instructions mate, but disconnect the battery regardless, and let it sit for about half an hour before dismantling it. It lets any spare charge in the system die out so there's nil chance of the bag exploding in your face.
    cheers
