For a while I had a 4 spoke Scirocco/Golf/Passat wheel on mine (there are 2 types, you need the pre 86 one = smaller splines). I recently took it off though as I decided it "was not for me" and also it hid the top third of the speedo and all of the temp gauge from normal view :twisted: There is plenty on here about doing that swap, including using those little nuts off the back of an old computer socket to space the indicator cancelling plate to be in the right position to work with the new steering wheel.

Just one suggestion.

Here's a detailed thread on the mk1 golf steering wheel that John mentions as I've also done this mod on mine:
