steering wheels - gunny110 - 07-10-2015

I got a steering wheel at the script yesterday, full leather 3 point from a 206 gti or a 307 can't remember now. It fits however it has two connectors either side of the airbag. Mine only has one. Is there anyway of fitting it to my car? Do I need the steering clock also (black thing steering wheel sits on that airbag wire comes out) thank you

Not much help but I'd just forget about the airbag myself, I fitted a non airbag leather 309gti wheel to mine, job done lol

I've fitted one from a early 206 3 point but non leather will have to do for now


RE: steering wheels - Iceman299 - 09-10-2015

Look at getting a 306 3-spoke leather wheel. Looks very similar and a straight swap

Which car are they in mate 306 obviously lol


RE: steering wheels - Redordead89 - 10-10-2015

I want that wheel for my 307! I have leather now but I like the thumb grips, great when you got it upside down in the twisties, no chance of remembering whether it was a 307 or not???

306 gti 180 mate I paid 15 for it. If yours is too stage air bag it should fit if the splines are the same

206 sorry

The other connection is for the horn.


RE: steering wheels - Niall - 11-10-2015

Will be two airbag connectors. They have a two stage airbag. I would just try and find out which one is the latter and connect that one
There will also be a connector in there for the horn but you can ignore that seeing as a 306 horn is on the stalk.
I didn't think these wheels fit. If you get it to fit let us know because I think a few people would change!

I had it on just the air bag wouldn't fit as its to stage


RE: steering wheels - 7057sam - 11-10-2015

Love the idea of the 180 wheel but it does nt fit properly,bloody shame.


RE: steering wheels - thebluepearl - 13-10-2015

is it the same size as a 306 3 spoker? couldnt you just swap over the 306 airbag into the 206 wheel?? if it does hey presto your connector will fit your airbag

They do fit but the steering cowl needs to be modified/changed quite a bit or removed completely as the wheel fouls on it and you need longer arms with shorter fingers.
I remade my cowl in CF.
They may look nice, but realistically they're not any better than the standard leather wheel.

They're slightly smaller in diameter and thicker in grip.  
You can't just swap over the airbag, but you can "make" a ph3 one fit the 180 wheel.

RE: steering wheels - thebluepearl - 14-10-2015

Just a thought as they rum a simular shape


RE: steering wheels - puggered - 14-10-2015

From the front they line up but you have to fabricate a new case to cover the back where the 206 airbag normally sits.
It's a lot of mucking about.


RE: steering wheels - insomaniac45 - 18-10-2015

Puggered, how did you do that to the stitching? looks awesome.

You're spot on Matt, the wheel is from a 206cc which is the same as the 180 down here
however the stitching is not, original wheels have a straight loop this one is commonly called "baseball stitch" (same as used for baseballs) Use 2 needles and sore fingers.
