Managed to hit a dead Badger in the road at erm slightly over national speed limit and ripped the exhaust off the middle silencer unfortunatly the silencer doesnt split past the cat so a whole new section plus cat will have to be sourced, on the plus side the front splitter survived the impact intact..

Same here... sweaty palms ..she passed her 6th in a row last Fri , and I also do all the sevicing and work on her myself but yep.. nervous till its in there

Ditched my Deep Dish steering wheel for the oem one as the mot is due soon and need the airbag back on

yep the dude said he should have filed it last year but forgot about the new regs ..said he knows i will just bang the Kode back on so if i just bring my airbag n wheel with me next year he will turn a blind eye

I fitted a Kode deep dish on mine but bear in mind its an mot fail if you have tampered or removed the airbag, regardless of if the light goes out or not

Good news, same here, shes never failed a MOT

im on a modified car policy with Adrian Flux and they have been fine with all other mods and the wheel change has been declared and they aint objected....yet

you just need to convince the system that the airbag is still there even though you take it off.. its easily done by putting an appropriate resistor in there, this will mimic the resistance the airbag would normally produce when a check is done when you first start up, and hence the light will go out. a resistor is the better method than taking the bulb out as when mot time comes the airbag light has to light then go out to pass the test. heres a vid i made on my channel explaining the process. http://youtu.be/abZqHPzObf0?list=UU4LUIUJ-hL7tZP6p5WWjxjw heres a night pic of my Kode wheel, and as others have said if feels real good in the hand, yes you do, in fact nowdays,any change at all you are best telling them, imo if you are modding it is always best to insure with a specialist insurer, its cheaper with them than you think.

Horn will basically sound if the wire from the original horn connector, is ground ..earthed on car body... Take a wire from the connector and make permanent contact with the disc at the rear of the after market boss via a home rigged paper clip which has been connected to the one wire. Once this is done there is a wire in the aftermarket hub, your one wire, with a connector on it that connects to the wheels horn, just plug it onto one of the two connectors at the back of the horn.. You now have basically a circuit from the original horn connector to the horn switch, even when the wheel is rotated, so when pressing the horn switch it completes the circuit, and horn sounds.. In effect just as if you were grounding the original connector wire .

Personell choice on the airbags I spose.. If you inclined to worry bout things like that then yep, best steer clear of dished wheels.. Me, I ride motorcycles, last thing I worry bout is if an airbag is fitted..

Kode Deep dish leather on mine, easy enough to wire in, resistor for airbag, pic when fitted but still wiring up. Ebay fixed boss. quality of Kode is excellent and a good price, driving with wheel is so much better imo than standard, defo a good mod and looks good too.

nice 1 the reservoir is a real pain in the ass if you want to pressure bleed because of the lack of a threaded top.. good to know this one works buddy, nice 1.
