Now yes I know this can be done if referred to by EFFaclon's thread of doing it to his car..

What I'd like to know is just how I would go about colour coding the airbag component of the steering wheel.

I really would like to buy one of these wheels, but not if it's going to look tacky due to it being mismatched colours.

Just dye the centre bit with VHT Vinyl Dye. you can pick it up from Autobarn and because its a dye it wont rub off.

The standard airbag colour in my el xr8 matched perfect to the au momo black & grey wheel.

I have the grey taxi interior

I say taxi cos the s/wheel and dash remind me of my nights home in a taxi

just a thought:-

maybe you should actually leave the airbag cover grey, so it ties the wheel in a little better? I tend to think that having a completely black steering wheel would look really weird, seeing as the rest of the dash is pretty much grey.

what i'm gunna do is dye the centre like said above, i'll also be painting the dash surround black to match, i *should* have a BA shifter being fitted soon too, i half modified it so once i start again i should get it on, should match in well with the black surround :)

Just thinking John, your compliance plate would probably have most letters between A-Z on it by now wouldnt it? Its only an EF Falcon by name now!

Hrm, I might buy the wheel and fit it, and then see what happens.

Another thought, can I get the momo gear knob that came with au's as well? Or what's the deal there?

AFAIK you can put an AU shifter on an EL, but you have to change or alter ir somehow, due to the 'rod' (what bit that is i have nfi) being plastic in the AUs and metal in EF/L. Or something like that.
