Title: Mechanics nearby Southampton or Uxbridge/West London
Post by: bustamo on November 14, 2014, 04:12:17 am
Hi guys,

Got a mk5 GTI steering wheel I want to fit in my mk5 golf.

Is there anyone, or any recommended garages, off this forum who are willing to take up this job?
For bit of moneys, of course  :happy2:

I would do it myself by following tutorials...
- but being a slight noob to car mechanics, I find touching the car more of a risk than disassembling my phone/console/any computer components I'm usually capable of
- would rather be guided by someone who's done this before, esp. the airbag bit

I'm at uni around West London, so would need to borrow ones tools when I'm not in Southampton.

Drop me a PM if interested, cheers!

Fitted all and well

Looks way better than stock, feels 10x better to drive

Cheers, Raz

If you ever need some fault codes cleared I'm about that way during the working week (live near Watford).

That looks awesome! Been debating doing it on mine, however trying to find one in the right condition for the right price. Do you know if I can transfer the airbags over from my current one?
