I have a client with a 2007 C8 Laviolette. He wants to to have the 2009 steering wheel installed. Does anyone know if this is possible & are there any issues that one may come across when doing the swap?? Thanks for the info.

It has taken almost a year to get this anwser but I have just got the news that Yes it can be done! It is time consuming and costly but can be done. I do not know how much it will cost yet but Vinny should be able to tell us.
Vinny can you let us know? If not on here can you PM me?
Thanks

I talked to Vinny and yes you can install a airbag wheel on cars that do not come with them. Some cars are easy because they are pre-wired for the airbag and some are not pre-wired.
162 came pre-wired from the factory for the airbag but did not have a airbag wheel. This car had the conversion done and it cost's around $5,000 USD
Older cars that are not pre-wired could be converted BUT it would be very costly and the whole interior would have to be removed in order for the chassis to be wired properly.
If you are interested in doing this conversion then contact Vinny and he will find out if your car is pre-wired or not.

In the world of Spyker ANYTHING is possible...
a 2007 has a decent chance of retrofitting a newer steering wheel than on 06.
our 2008 demo car #162 did NOT have an airbag, but it does now. fully functional.
if your car was pre-wired for this, it is a matter of simple parts/labor. 6-8 hours worth of work.
If it was NOT, you have to replace the entire wiring harness, lots of $$$ and time.
Send me your VIN, and I'll check with the factory on your car.Vinny
