RU55A_172 Posted 17, February 2014 Author Report Share Posted 17, February 2014 are you talking steering wheels? Yes ... with some fiddling it can be done. You need a steering wheel and airbag, then some plugs have to be done. They are only slightly smaller ... but they are thicker from what I'm told. Edit: There is a guide for it too. Cheers 182. Yup steering. ....def wldnt b wanting smaller rims lol..... So where is this guide? Id also like to c some photos or proof of this bring done b4 I commit to buying a wheel. Any chance u know where I could find? Sent from my GT-I9100T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R182 Posted 17, February 2014 Report Share Posted 17, February 2014 There are heaps of useful guides if you join ClioSport. For the steering wheel someone here (Eire?) went to the effort of copying it across.

R182 Posted 18, February 2014 Report Share Posted 18, February 2014 Slightly smaller but not much. The thickness probably makes a difference. From what I've read they sometimes don't fair much better in the sun either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R182 Posted 18, February 2014 Report Share Posted 18, February 2014 Hmm, it's a little challenging with airbags now. Gone are the days where you could just get a boss and put whatever wheel on you wanted. Also can't just swap over seats now either. Although I'd never trade the Clio's performance (and it is safer), I miss my past car with fixed racing seats, harness and nice small wheel. Nothing compares to that feeling of your torso being held snugly and just your limbs able to move and operate the controls (except maybe the enjoyment of making passengers climb over the side intrusion bar ... LOL). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
