New Superb Steering wheel and front grill

3000GT · 26-04-2006, 18:23

Went to the dealers today to book in my car for some warranty work.

Was looking round the showroom and they had 3 new superbs in

all of them had a new lower front bumper grill same as old one but with chrome trim round the inner edge - was really nice ....

and a new steerinf wheel alot more elegant, nicer finish with the controls built in instead of on the edges like the current one - again a big improvement to the current wheel which looks badly finished.

really want to swap my grill and wheel for these items any one got any ideas on price or where i could get them from apart from a dealership?

Also anyone know if the steering wheel is compatible?

IIRC the grille can be purchased for around £30 and is a simple add on.

As for the steering wheel again IIRC this is out of the New Octavia? Doesn't suit the 'old lines' of the Superb IMO as it's too rounded and stands out from the rest of the 'old lines' interior?

I agree on this, looks a bit out of place.

Agree with comments with new steering wheel and controls would put me off a new one, old ones much more classy in my opinion.
A friend who has just taken delivery of a new Superb with the new steering wheel he preffered the operation the contols on his older Superb.

Sounds like 3000GT and your mate need to swap 'Steering Wheels'.

Sorry, but there is no way he will be modifying his new car by swapping steering wheels.
