no.

10 minute job fella.

disconnect the batt

two small screws at the back of the wheel release the airbag.

unclip airbag.

1 x torx 30 in the centre.

...repeat in reverse.

no.

the Mk2 has a 2-stage airbag computer. the Mk1 has a single deployment system. i.e in smaller crashes the airbag isn't deployed as harshly.

you can't 'trick' the systems either.

plus the connections are not the same as a result.

you could technically fit one. but the airbag would be just for show.

get yourself a 172 exclusive item like mine. (full blue leather)
