Hey, so as the title says, a mate of mine has a VR Calais he is wrecking for parts and I'm basically laying dibs on everything he has like a madman, because I want his Calais goodies before it goes to the wreckers.
His Calais has a leather wrap, airbag equipped steering wheel. My VS has a ordinary, non airbag non leather steering wheel.
Basically what I want to do is swap steering wheels so I have a leather wheel on my car. Is this a straight swap, do-able with some mods or downright impossible? I would imagine the biggest hurdle would be the airbag, I assume that would have to be removed as my car isn't designed to have an airbag installed in it? Are the mounting points the same or do I need a boss kit? Am I making sense or just talking out of my arse here? Do I have to swap the whole wheel over or can I just swap the leather rim around while leaving my old centre on?
Anyone who could give me some advice would be much appreciated.
