Will this fit the a2?

Yes it will, you will however need a single stage round airbag and awareness of how to match the loom to your existing slip ring.
 
Hi Marc, have a look at my project to see about colour differentials with the A2 red leather. http://www.a2oc.net/forum/showthread.php?32286-The-Baby-Boomer-Project

I can't get onto ebay to check the exact one, as I understand there are different versions.

Tom fitted mine a couple of months ago, having rewired the airbag and I must say it feels great :) Just be aware that there are two types of round airbag, and you need to get the right one. Unfortunately I can't get the part number off my airbag, as that would involve removing it ;)
 
Hi Marc,

To confirm what others have already said, it will indeed fit.

Tom fitted mine a couple of months ago...

I fitted an A1 Legends steering wheel to Jeremy's car, but his was the multifunction version. There's a great photo of it here...

Due to this being multifunction, it took quite a bit of research and custom work to get it to work in an A2. However, the one that you've found on eBay is the non-multifunction version, meaning it's much easier. As Paul says, you'll need a suitable airbag and an awareness of how to match the airbag/horn wiring loom to your existing slip ring. This isn't something you want to get wrong!

Just be aware that there are two types of round airbag, and you need to get the right one. Unfortunately I can't get the part number off my airbag, as that would involve removing it ;)

This is correct. There are two airbags that look identical from the front but that have a different system of attachment to the steering wheel itself. If you buy the steering wheel in the eBay listing that you've linked, you'll need the 8X variant (part number 8X0 880 201) rather than the 8V variant.

Cheers,

Tom
