    Default Flat bottom steering wheel

    Apart from spending a small fortune on eBay is there any company or anybody that can source a flat bottom steering wheel?

    just keep your eyes out for a Corsa VXR steering wheel they are slightly cheaper but nope unless you can cut and reshape yours yourself than reupholster it you won't be finding it cheap... and from what i've noticed the Corsa flat bottom VXR steering wheel will require you to swap over the steering wheel controls... and although they are lower priced... they still aren't cheap though, basically you can buy another vectra, with problems for parts for the asking price.

    Would that be any year corsa VXR? I'm just getting a bit tired with my interior and the wheel is starting to wear a bit

    Nope only the flat-bottomed one that has the same looking steering wheel controls... not sure of the model either... but you will soon spot it if you look on eBay.

    like this one

    alternatively you can get a rattle can of leather colour satin black and respray your steering wheel... It lasts about a year if you haven't rubbed the damaged leather down completely

    Those are original modified vectra steeringwheels... I prefer the Corsa model it is better shaped than that one.

    Yeah cheaper but.... remanufactured OEM steerimg wheel.... I rather buy one that is 100% made by the manufacturer... plus that metal looking bit is a lot nicer than the cheap looking flat bottom on this one... but for the price it isn't half bad... wonder if the vectra steeringwheel bits fit ( airbag etc)

    I was under the impression that the vectra air bag fitted the corsa VXR wheel?

    It should but I'm always sceptical when it comes to that... as not all the steeringwheels have the same layout.
