This is the install video linked by the company. Removing the steering wheel would probably make it easier but it is not necessary.

My only concern at the moment is that it feels a bit plastic in my hands but that will probably change once it's on. I'll see how I go for a few weeks and upgrade if I'm not happy.1507306903646-1034029481.jpg

Having driven mine a couple of times since I fitted mine last weekend, it feels fine. First drive I wasn’t sure. It just felt different, but in a good way. The girth is certainly better. Top marks from me.

I received mine today only to find that as my steering wheel does not have plastics covering the spokes the finish would not be acceptable so if anyone would wants one but is not prepared to wait this kit has grey stitching and they can have it for a discount.I will post on items for sale.

No,the wheel is just not equipped to accommodate them,its a 2004 2.2 roadster and I did not realise until later that my wheel although is the same shape the spokes are moulded,see picture.

I'm pretty sure they come off. If you feel around is there not a hole behind each spoke for a screw?

Maybe more accessible with the airbag off.

In this case they do not,there are no screws on the back of the wheel,it is a complete plastic all in one moulding,see photos.
