I know the 17/82's steering wheels fit on the 1.2's, so if the 197/200's fit on the 17/82's it should all be the same!
So to confirm, the only problem is the airbag connectors are different? can these be modded?

Also does the wheel from the megane's fit clio's?

It's a bit of a disgrace that even the Clio III wheel melts. They have blatantly known about the issue for a long time, and still engineer it with a lifespan that will just about see out the warranty. IMO it shows just how much they value their customers, selling them cars with steering wheels that look like they've done 300,000 miles, after 3 years of normal use. The one in my 182Cup is absolutely fucked, and makes the car feel as though it's worth about 10p.

I think it might work as the resisitors i used on mine and steves 200 were the same, which to me suggests the airbag is similar in how it works....

Its made to a budget, simple as. The Laguna 2 wheels don't melt. I've seen some on 140k + and yes they are a bit smooth, but not compleatly fucked like the Clio items.

LOL, stick on airbag! I need to ring Birchdown tomorrow anyways.
That's what I said. It's designed to just about see out a warranty. IMO that's a bit of a slap in the face for customers. Especially RS customers who should be buying a premium brand. I'm well aware of how the industry works, but I think it's a just a bit low to supply seriously sub standard materials in the premium models.
They are all still great drivers cars though.

It's odd how some are immaculate and just as old though. The one in mine is made of sterner stuff than my old Dynamique (which melted a bit but wasn't anywhere near as bad as I've seen some), but god knows what it'd be link in a few years. I guess though it depends whether you've got sweaty hands or not. I have a feather light touch.
Cowls? I'm going to get a 200 wheel with the stitching what do I need to do to get it to fit.

good find! Might bid
I'm getting hold of a wheel but need to get hold of an airbag, as thats my main concern.

Got one coming yeah?
Managed to get hold of a cheap MK3 wheel, just for fitting purposes.

ye thats the car mate those are my wheels lol
Ok I'll give some feedback as I just tried to fit mine and need to knows:
Does it fit without modification: Yes
Does it foul the cowlings: Yes very slightly if you rub it down it'll fit
Will the airbag work: Yes, I think it will
Does all wires come togther without chopping: No. All but the cruise control clip together but that will need cutting and soldering.
Is there something wrong with it when on: Yes If fits and all goes together however, due to something with how it tightens up I think it grips too much. As when you turn the wheel it will not self correct and turn back. I.e turn right and the steering wheel stays in that position. You'd have to manually turn it back. I have no idea how the chap in Italy got aroud this. The guy fitting mine said it was probably due to something on the back of it. A piece of metal may need maching off. Or some adjustments at the least. Tbh, that's too much effort for me.

Yes it extinguishes the lights, but you cant be sure it'll fire
The actual metal fitting of the wheel is ever so slightly different detween the wheels. One is slightly longer than the other, must be the MK3 one. Maybe needs machining down a wee bit. Cant remember now
