Thought i'd share some pics of my new MSport steering wheel...Picked it up quite cheap off Ebay...
Thanks to Anzafin's DIY which is a different steering wheel but the process is the same and it helped alot...the main problem I had was getting the 15mm bolt out but with a bit of persistence & sweat I managed to get the damn thing loose!
This is one of the best mods I've done and the steering wheel feels sooo good... its like driving a sports car...

I am left-handed but I am not sure I could get used to shifting with my left hand. Just tried a bit of air shifting and was quite confused.
