Wood effect steering wheel for K11

[Steve M]

Hi Everyone,
I am new here. I live in Barcelona, Spain and I recently bought a Mitsuoka Viewt convertible. As you will all probably know, it's a K11 Nissan Micra with Jaguar MkII exterior styling. I am in the middle of re-looking the interior and I would love to find a walnut effect steering wheel, where if possible I could retain the central airbag. Any suggestions? Great site btw.
Thanks, Steve.

My personal opinion: Don't be a pansy, rip out the airbag, fit a moto-lita walnut rimmed wheel and then put wire wheels on it. Go hard or go home!

Thanks Enuo for your diplomatic words. I have a moto-lita wheel on my Austin-Healey 3000 and my Series 1 E-type Jag, but this is my girfriends car. I like her face the way it is, which is why I wondered if there were any options for a better looking steering wheel keeping the airbag. Steve.

try http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wood-Steering-Wheel-Cover-Set-Parts-FINISH-SELECTION-AVAILABLE-MR30201-/110890062130?ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IThttp://www.ebay.com/itm/Wood-Steering-Wheel-Cover-Set-Parts-FINISH-SELECTION-AVAILABLE-MR30201-/110890062130?ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT, it's not great but nissan haven't as far as I know ever made a wood effect etc wheel for any of their cars. Rover have, but I doubt the splines are the same...

Edit: I'ts worth noting that any airbag equipped steering wheel from another car may be dangerous due the the different way in which they work. Steering rake/distance to driver will vary depending on driver in a single car, but the difference between the operating parameters may be vastly different between cars. That airbag could break the neck of the driver rather than support the head in case of an accident should this be the case.

Thanks for the link, I will keep looking, but this is certainly an alternative. I appreciate your help, Steve.
