aftermarket s/wheel for Clio RS

[inf1d3l]

hi all,

just wondering if any one has replaced the standard airbag steering wheel with an aftermarket unit. what boss kit are you using? is it model-specific and how is the airbag sensor disabled? hope you guys can help and thanks in advance. btw, i drive a facelifted Clio 172.

cheers,

So it seems! Maybe everyone likes the alcantara?

no such luck with alcantara for me im afraid! the one i have is the leather with the rubberised ergonomic thumb grips...

Had a look at your photo - not too bad. What pedals are those? Sparco?

Those pedals are standard on 172s.
inf1d3l doesnt the air bag light come on?. What have you done to make it switch off?.
