Title: Will a Vectra SRi 3 spokw wheel fit my 99?
Post by: Millerboy on 16 November 2010, 23:35:36

Hello peeps,
I've managed to find a 3 spoke Vectra SRi steering wheel and was wondering if it'll fit on my 99 mini facelift Mig? If it does would it be a direct replacement? Cheers

I dont see why not.

The main issue I could think of is the airbag, if it's got a different plug, perhaps. But as you already have the wheel Id just try and fit it in, then you'll know better than any of us! :y

if it doesn't fit there are adapters you can get.

In which case I'll disconnect the battery as soon as possible and get stuck in, I'll let you all know how I get on! Cheers :y

Good news folks, direct replacement, no fannying about or anything! It should obviously say spoke in the subject line not spokw!!!!!  ;D

Your picture needs to be hosted elsewhere ie Photobucket, & you then link to it there.  :y

As requested here is a picture of the finished result, apologies for the quality and the lighting! Also please excuse the state of the car, along with personal transport it also has to earn it's keep, hence the state of it!

I assume they would as the buttons light up as they should, can't test them comprehensively though as I've lobbed my Sony MP3 player in! :)

Cheers for all the positive comments, I thought it looked good but always nice to get some other opinions. This does of course mean a Vectra GSi wheel will fit, hmmm, silver bits!!!! :y :y
