Sparco carbon fibre steering wheel for Atom 4

What do people here think about replacing the stock larger steering wheel with this one: https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/sparco- ... 5pc270ssn/

I really like this because it's smaller than the stock one, I prefer smaller wheels, you can see the dash easier and it matches the carbon fibre which makes it look extra cool.

There is a chap on the facebook page with pictures on his Atom 3.5, which was where I saw it today.

I am not sure these open topped wheels are road/Mot legal in the UK.

I love it. Definitely getting one for my 4. I’ll put the old/standard one back on for MOT’s if it won’t pass, two second job.

A word of warning the 4 has a slower rack than the older cars, which lead to more wheel twirling on the road at junctions etc.

This wheel "might" annoy when manoeuvring on the road as you can't grip the top.

Just a thought...
Atom 4, Clio v6, & some other cars obviously.

Bless the Atom owners and their need for straight line speed and gearbox fairy lights. Get yourself a hydraulic handbrake and live life sideways.

be careful with your insurance using a non road legal wheel. There are a couple of drivers who use them though. I was tempted, so I could see the change up lights.
