do you mean the sky blue or metallic blue?

the only momo wheels that are sorta readily available, are the metallic blue ones with the blue grips on Ebay. occasionally there are the lighter blue ones floating around which look the same.

I reckon the Metallic blue would be the closest you would get to be honest. The Sky Blue is too light in colour to match the cluster.

There are only 2 blues.


The one above is metallic blue (the picture doesn't do it justice, it does match the S2 cluster).

The other is know as the T series blue and is a very bright blue like this:

You should check your shifter aswell, because you want the wheel to match the shifter, it would look funny if you had a sky blue wheel and met blue shifter, as far as I'm aware the shifter only came in met blue, so you should go for that one.

If you want a different colour on wheel you can get them recovered by a trimmer in any colour you like

It maybe that one, but its a differant guy, when i spoke to him he said the only ones he has listed are the ba-bf ones and is listing the au ones tomorrow. So now im waiting for a pic.

Even if its the one that JeffAU1 has found it will look good once i paint the little silver things blue to match the shifter.

It's the same one as in Ronwest's picture. Zhodak also has one (I fitted it tonight). Got it from RatGlobal on ebay. They also do a black/grey/blue (or red) one (the silver inserts from the black one are blue/red), but the black/silver is the pick of the bunch. No pics of it in my car, but here's one from ebay (it's exactly the same as mine):


99XR6 - yep, that's my interior, but now has the black wheel with silver inserts - the blue momo is in the wagon. The silver dash radio surround is awful. It's a berg designs job and is trying very hard to be brushed aluminium. But it's better than the light grey plastic that was there, and I just colour coded the cluster etc to match the aluminium look. It looks better in the photos than in real life though. Here's a close up of the radio surround:

RAT Global (Roman Auto Group) are the Momo importers for Australia, and also have supplied Ford and various other manufacturers with the 'sports' steering wheels and pedal sets straight out of the factory, as dealer fit options, and still do all the BA/BF Momo kit for Ford today.

Hope that helps.....

Call them up, and go down to their shop. They are pretty much the exact same prices man, and you pick it up on the day.

Much less hassle.

I've been down to their place, quite a few times.
