ive got this hella steering wheel made by momo, they are quite rare over hear and are mainly used on mk2 golfs. a mate got me it from a trip to germany when i had my mk2 golf but i keep it boxed up at the moment. the main feature i like about it is that you can remove the leather insert thats goes in the middle so its like having 2 in 1

Nice.
Maybe a flat bottom one? Colour scheme is quite important, I want black and red. Anyone got any ideas? Egay is sh!t as usual...

perosnally im not a fan of the flat bottom wheels, just dont really suit a nova. is the colour scheme just for the wheel or the complete interior?

I've got a sparco mugello on my gt4 it's red in the middle with flat bottom I can get a pic later if you like.
Calibra turbo one in mine. Need another one though - the first went manky; stitching came out on the second. Haven't been able to find a decent one for months though :(

Would be cool ta.
And Simon the colour scheme is for my interior so the steering wheel has to match.

a capri is alot heaver at the front than a nova unless its got a xe in it . i would have been on the phone demanding allsorts othsrwise i would be putting a claim in
Million pound bet says dry steering. Even so, yikes.

Yeah but did he buy it brand new or second hand. If second hand then god knows what was done with it previously... If brand new then guess who isn't going to be looking at a mountney steering wheel...
I'll find a picture of my steering wheel in a sec so you can get a feel of the kind of wheel I want...
EDIT:
Here we go:

Where the red is on the steering wheel, it has all rubbed off. I am well aware that it isn't the greatest quality but when I got for free I couldn't complain too much. Something like this is what I am after. But I am open to ideas, hence the thread.
Here's my MOMO

A standard stearing wheel is best as it sits at a slight angle opposite to the way of the steering column to straighten it up a bit. Aftermarket wheels always make the driving position worse.
Erm does it?^ I've always found every steering wheel shows the pissedness of the column.

Only when your driving straight. It's slightly better but still squint.

Surely if OEM wheels had an angle to them to counteract the column, they'd be twice as bad when you turn the wheel..?
Got an irmscher one with red stitching like novasports
280mm momo team wheel
tis abit small lol

He is right, in a straight line it will be fine though!
