Any interest in another airbag steering wheel group buy - LotusTalk

lotus4s · 07-05-2008, 07:35 AM

Hello All,

I have contemplated doing another group buy on the adapter kit/steering wheel but have not decided whether to proceed as I'm sure the prices will have to go up as well as requiring a significant cash outlay on my part (not to mention the headaches involved) and I'm not sure if there is enough interest to meet the minimum quatities required which would probably be 15-20.

The current wheel discounted prices are from around $525 to $725 for the most popular styles purchased in the past and the adapter kits are $195, both including shipping to the US. I don't know how much the adapter kit will increase without getting new quotes on all the parts involved but I would imagine at least 10%. I make nothing on the wheel purchase but I will make a few bucks off the adapters to cover my time and investment involved. The wheels are purchased by you directly from TM Tuning in Germany with pre-arranged discounts for the group buy. Welcome to TM Tuning - your # 1 source for VW & Audi OEM and aftermarket parts

The only other similar conversion kit that I know of is from Moto Concept in Germany which would cost you around $1300. Our group buy price would be in the neighborhood of around $850 for the same wheel/adapter combo.

If you're interested please post here or email me directly if you'd like more info.

Thanks,

???

Why would anyone want to put this into their Elise or Exige? We already have a smaller and better looking wheel in our cars.

Hey Rich,

Good point, that's probably why this was posted in the Esprit section. You know, the other Lotus
