Haha!I think the seller went a little over the top with the wording as DSG paddle shift wheel would have been enough,I do know that there is a 'R' Mk6 steering wheel on ebay and that start's the bidding at £430! :surprised:

Looks very nice that.

But I read somewhere that with MK6's having a 2 stage air bag ( whatever that means) and MK5's having a 1 stage that there was a compatability issue meaning the bag would not deploy in an accident.

Anyone know if thats the case?

Bargain.
Price of these has flown up over the last few months.
You may need the MK6 control module to get it all to work though

Thank's for the advice mate,my VW man has said he'll get it all working and it won't be a problem,my Edition30 wheel is a MFSW one as well which make's it a little easier,also the seller did provide the correct airbag loom as well! :smiley:
