Ok, so it's a bit on the unlikely side for anyone to have a decent one, but one of the bugbears I have with my car is that the steering wheel has been badly re-finished at some point. It looks like someone has sat with their right hand at the 2 o clock position a lot and in an attempt to cover the damage to the leather this caused, the wheel had been painted with vinyl paint or similar before I got the car.
I managed to remove most of the paint and spent ages re-conditioning the leather, but it's far from how it would have originally been. Having driven nearly 5k miles in the last couple of months has reminded me how much it irritates me...
If anyone has one - pre-facelift, single stage airbag, 4 spoke type I'd be interested (even if it needs re-covering).
Cheers
Alan

Thanks - Like I say - I'd be interested and can't see why the single stage airbag won't fit a twin stage wheel, although there are three separate part numbers from Alpina with changes at 03/99 and 09/01.
Can anybody else confirm??
For what it's worth, my wheel looks like this;
Not my actual wheel (no switchtronic on the one in the photo) but the same style etc.
Cheers again.
