i think the spline and mounts are a different size. you would have to look at another 6n2 one, or a golf or something (bear in mind it would ideally need to have an airbag too)

Does the GTI Leather wheel wear as much as the standard one? That could be a possibility

There we go then! That's certainly an option... Stylish and it's leather, so it'll smell nice!

(not that you'd sniff it or anything :roll: )
