The wheel will fit, however it is important to point out that the reason the dealer said �No� is because of the deployment area of the air bag for each car is different and a serious crash would make the make the air bag ineffective.

Thanks guys. Looks like nothing conclusive and Florida's a bit far to go Will pursue this more when I finally get a car sorted. Mark - 360 prices still seem quite firm. 90k min from the official dealers and at least 80k from specialists. Plus the 355s I've seen seem to have dropped by a few k recently so am in no major rush at the minute...then again, it would be a nice Christmas present. |

Andy I called Ferrari UK Technical and they said no but if you can find a resolution ot this I would be interested too, (think I'm going to keep the 355 for a while longer now!). I'll ask a few other UK specialists I know and see what the response is |

Hi Andy... We have discussed that changing 355 steering wheel with a 360 one before. Here is the link : http://server.ferrarichat.com/~ferrari/ferrarichat.com/discus/messages/112/159958.html It may give you some ideas about it. By the way Welcome to FerrariChat  |

Anyone know if this is possible? Looking to get my first Ferrari (hello Mark ) and am pretty much certain it has to be a 355GTB - still not sold on the 360's looks, and they're still a touch pricey, older models either don't fit me or would be too expensive to put 8k miles a year on. And the 355 is beautiful. Just about sorted on the exact spec I want. But why is the steering wheel so ugly on airbag cars? Would love to fit a 360 wheel to a 355, and would appreciate any advice on the possibilities. Happy to receive any and all feedback on this and other buying matters. As soon as I sell my R500 I'll have something red to keep my yellow Cat7 company  |
