smaller pas padded wheel. some from mk1 golfs with adaptors.
Either way it's going to be hard going when parallel parking.
Cheaper to change the seats than fit pas?

It's a professional task, if you must do it get it done properly and AFTER you inform your insurance company.

Now I wonder who THAT could be ?!

Alternative (aka often higher) seats often lead to the desire for a smaller (but inpractical) steering wheel, the Corsa PAS system and others have been known to be fitted but I'm lead to believe it usually involves losing the collapsable part of the steering column.
You should ALWAYS inform your insurance co of ANY modifications .... don't give the buggers even the slightest reason to drop you if the worst should happen and you need to make a claim.
