FAO Alex or any other geeks

Post by beeby11 »

I've got my mk3 polo GT and it came with a momo 280mm steering wheel which i love the feel of.

I really want one in my GTI but dont want to pay for a new boss and maybe wheel so i was wondering will the wheel and boss fit from the GT into the GTI ill try dig up a pic of the wheel in question if that helps. Or will i need to stop being a tight arse and buy a new one?

You will need a new boss as the spline is a different size.

thats about normal.

One thing to bear in mind is you will lose the airbag, which imo is a big safety feature lost :shock:
