Apparently this wheel will suit 147 156 159 GTA Brera etc.

Lucky buggers
I wonder where they put the Air Bag?
Would you replace your Steering Wheel with something as ugly as that on a late model Alfa without an Air Bag.

eek! that's scary. looks like it has melted
Yikes why would you. I thought I must be drunk when I first saw it. Think I will stay with what I have already.

Nice one.
Too understated.....
I assume then if fitted, the car would be unroadworthy as airbag is inoperable ?
And with these all purpose accessories, can yor really buy an adaptor sleave/hub to fit an Alfa ?
jh
Judas Priest that is dog arse ugly
Most succinctly stated Pep. Definitely too the point.
Not sure John, but to my reckoning it is so damn ugly that in itself makes it inherantly unsafe. I would be trying to find a way to get out of the car as quick as possible, so as not to have to stare at it. Not that I could ever be tempted to put such an ugly wheel on my 156 in the first place.
Ha ha, I was pretty sure this one would get a reaction.

Brilliant, this still cracks me up.

Yeah that is pretty funny, classic statement Dave - to actually think your were on the gas when you first laid eyes on it
Id rather steer the car with multigrips..........

you are making it sound like it is a bad thing ....
Hey I know we could start a new thread along the lines of the most stupid pig ugly steering wheel or alloys you have seen fitted to an Alfa. I certainly have seen some absolute rubbish fitted by uninspired owners over the years !! I remember this 1750 GTV that had a huge hit up its bum, but worse still were the wheels and steering which would have loked better on a Fully Sick Hyundai !!
BTW Pep, I had only had a glass or two of red... honest !!! Dave

Don't forget to do up the nut after you install it on your car though.....

you talking from experience ;D, it would probably look and feel better than that thing on ebay !!!!
Dave - nothing wrong with a little red mate and having a wander on ebay - ahh actually i take that back probably need to be sober and sensible, i nearly bought a fiat 124 sport (BC) last night and i need it like a hole in the head (wallet) lucky I was out bidded. If I drank enough (my old mans home made vino) id probably buy that steering wheel..............
I saw that one Sheldon, but wasn't tempted to look too closely. What a shocker. I would definitely need more than a couple of glasses of red, let alone some of Pep's old man's vino and a pair of dark sunglasses to hide that one from my eyes. It would be possibly like seeing a great chick at the pub through beer vision and waking up next to her the following morning and thinking, how could I have. Not that I have ever done this of course, I hasten to add !!
Pep, indeed there is nothing like a couple of reds to lubricate the wallet opening ebay, but then again, when it comes to parting with hard earned spindooli, I too am a little careful, especially, when I really can't afford it or justify it. Mind you there is nothing too wrong with a aquiring a BC for the collection (I already have a red AC), was it the red one? It didn't look too bad for the dosh.
My reluctance though to part with the last of the folding stuff left in my ever dwindling account might go a little to explaining how some of the recent bargains I have seen on the Bay havn't come my way. Probably just as well, since I am not sure how I might have explained it to the missus.
Yeah Dave it was the red one on Ebay, was complete sans one weber! and had the original steering wheel ;D
Im spewing now but hey i dont really need to buy another car just yet, my 105 is under going a rolling resto and theres a long way too go. However im now looking ;) at other 124s (need my head examined)
Now while my olds mans vino could get you into trouble on ebay and therefore the missus, my father in laws vino could potentially de carbonise your engine.............
Its fine mate, there is always another one to tempt you, and yes I am sure there is never a perfect timing to these things. Always seems to occur when one can least afford it.
Now as to your father in laws vino, if it is that strong, I am thinking you could probably market the stuff, or alternatively I could probably use some for paint stripper !!
Good luck in not needing and/or resisting another toy for the collection.
