Thats pretty bad. Once i get PAS fitted im gonna change wheel. After seeing that i may pay a bit extra and go for a reputable brand.

Hope it never caused any accidents or injuries.

As tom says dash does look tidy. Any chance of a pic of the centre console?

Cheers

Crikey , thats a bit dodgey. have heard about chinese crap before, and the new mountney stuff is getting a bad rep.

i have a a little old skool mountney steering wheel if your interested, id guess they all use the same PCD for the boss. i guess its about 12" diameter.
