Not sure if I'd want it on my Leon but it certainly is cool! Fair play if you do it

That ain't any Lupo steering wheel I have ever seen and I've been in them all from 1.0's to the GTI's.
Non standard part and IMHO would look shit in any Leon.

i think the only reason it looks big is due to the small airbag on it. i would of thought it was the same size as the leon one. i'll do some research and find out!

That's in no ordinary UK spec Lupo, there was a special edition in Germany called something like the 3L, which was a fore-runner to ecomotion vehicles. See linky
 You'll have to source it abroad as it never came here.

Looks smart but only in a 'euro'd' Leon.

I really quite like the wheel, but if the centre of the wheel is smaller then the big plastic chunk of steering column surround behind it then it might look a bit rubbish..
