Is this true? I can hardly believe the M-sport steering wheel is larger in diameter than the optional / sportline steering wheel.
Here is a picture of the wheel that I bought

I presume that the airbag and finish out of my other steering wheel will fit, we put them next to each other and saw no differences. Will keep you all updated, have the retrofetting planned for Wednesday.
