You are a lucky man. You are lucky that @Phillip33 is actually Skynet and sees everything car related for sale on the internet. You are also lucky I didn't see it first!

If anyone else in the UK or Australia wants to sell their steering wheel send me a message.
The 2 best sources of unobtanium are @Mike34 and @Phillip33. Unfortunately between the 2 of them my bank account remains flat. 😉

I’ve been running my Murat Abarth sticker for a couple of years now. Nice to finally have the real thing.

Today I received the final item to complete my “rest of the world Abarth” interior. I previously bought the Alcantara meter hood, lower dash, console cover with scorpion, e-brake and shifter boots. The steering wheel is the one with the red centering stripe and Abarth badge on the airbag cover.

This order wasn’t without issues.

On March 16 @Phillip33 sent me a text that @billypaulmason in England was selling his Abarth steering wheel and did I want it? You bet. 30 minutes later PayPal made it mine. The next day I get tracking info from Parcel Monkey. Then the next day I get a package delivered notice. What the hey? Upon closer inspection of the notice I find out it was returned to sender. Great Britain shut down all non commercial export shipping due to COVID-19. Now what. Wait.

April 20 the restriction is lifted. Courier refused to ship the package due to explosive devise, the airbag. Solution was to remove the charge. 4 nuts and it’s off. I will use the charge capsule off my original wheel and all will be good.

Reshipped April 28 and it is here today May 26.

Now to do the swap.

I noticed your airbag charge only has the yellow connector? I have a yellow and an orange on my 2017 Classica?

Yeah, those two guys can certainly dig into other people's wallets.
first of all Dan is in conflict of interest. He likes RED, which favours Mike34 and Philipp33 is his son. But above all like Chainringtattoo said, don't have your wallet around when chatting on this board. people had their Spider ceised and were left with the parts due to they were broke.
But I am the guy who could buy your parts at 50% discount in Canadian $$.😁

Jokes aside Dan, Mike34, Phillip33 and others are of great help to the board.

You are correct. The charge in the picture is from an English car. It was removed prior to shipping. I will reuse the original charge from my car which has 2 connectors.

Hi @depotdan love your car! Just wondering where you bought your alcantara gauge hood, armrest lid, and passenger garnish. Would love to get my Abarth a little closer to a real Abarth. Thank you in advance.
