Nope, pretty easy actually, a couple of screws and clips and off the front pops, then you undo a nut, pull old off, refit new and reconnect all electronics:)

Please be aware that if your Polo doesn't have the multifunction buttons, then you'll also need to get a new airbag to match the flat bottom wheel! The airbag from a buttonless Polo won't fit the flat bottom steering wheel!

But if your Polo has the multifunction buttons from factory, then the original airbag WILL fit the flat bottom steering wheel.

I had my new unused flat bottom wheel + airbag from a seller in Portugal through eBay, don't know if he's still trading though.

Literally just commented on your post asking you about a steering wheel :L I dunno what to do cause its not a multifunctional steering wheel, just the normal one :/ the one you have looks so much better and sportier!
