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.

Yikes why would you.  I thought I must be drunk when I first saw it.  Think I will stay with what I have already.

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 ?

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.

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..........

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

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..............
