Steering wheel position.

[Nine468]

This is a cross post from the Trophy site,,,
Im wondering if this is possible.
I have a Clio Trophy with a standard steering wheel.
As im tall,, 6ft5" with long legs, and sit a fair way back in the car, I need the wheel spaced out from the dash.
I realise the steering wheel is adjustable for rake, up and down, but not for distance, in or out.
Has anybody done a modification which allows the wheel to be farther out from the dash.
I dont realy want to fit a aftermarket wheel as itl loose the stereo and cruise buttons...
Thanks.

I think there is a mod where you fit a spacer behind the wheel, i'll see if I can find it

Aftermarket is the only real way.

You won't lose stereo controls (they are on the indicator stalk) and some people have modified CC with aftermarket wheels.

If you do go aftermarket then this is worth considering:

Works really well with the Sabelt Renaultsport wheel.

Thanks for the help.
If any of you know how the CC mod works, or links to post on how to do it, ide be greatefull.
Also, Loz H , if you could find the info on the spacer itd help too...

I like the look of the Sabelt RSport wheel, but not too keen on the blue top section...
Also , i hadnt wanted to spend that sort of £££ on the mod...

An Italian member was looking into it, maybe contact him and ask?

Most steering spacers are for aftermarket wheels.
It seems looking at pictures that the standard wheel is located by a spigot type of attachment, which would make getting a spacer difficult...
Unless its a spigot to spigot adaptor.
Most are spigot to bolt adaptors..

A 197 sits a fair bit closer to the driver. Big improvement.
