neps Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 My oem steeringwheel is so thin and simple. Looks so cheap. Then I saw this picture of the Mk8 zetec, and knew that I need to get one. Question is, will this fit? I guess it will physically, but what about wiring, and airbags? Maybe the airbag/inserts from my Mk7 steeringwheel will fit, so ill end up with a hybrid steeringwheel? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_sXe Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I wouldn't have thought they would change anything major technically wise, so I don't see why not.Only way to know for sure is to try fit it I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neps Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Ok, looks like they will swap straight over, with no problems then. Just re-use current airbags. The MK8 will have blue backlit buttons though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ_sXe Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hi, that is a Mk7.5 face lifted Fiesta too, the Mk8 isn't due out yet for several years. Some dealers/Parts places call it MK8 for some reason... <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanGersFord Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Well 03-05 widely known as the mk6, 05-08 is generally called mk6.5 (facelift mk6) and 08-12 generally known as a mk7 then the 13 plate is generally known as the mk 7.5 (facelift mk7) although Ford dont officially recognise the mk categories they tend tonjust worknoff the year of the car when ordering parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
