Default Bought the Jalpa steering wheel on Ebay

Bought the Jalpa steering wheel on Ebay. have not decided if I will change my original yet. Second pic is original on the car.
What would you do? Would you change to the newer version or not. Thanks in advance for any advice or response.

why not redo the one on the car to include the badge, and lease the one you bought.. just an idea... seeing as the one on the car is ok and working..

i always loved jalpa's but thought the dash seemed too plastic looking.. are there any jalpa's with the dash in leather, or the like???

I like the new one, stick it on there. Just keep the old one for originalities' sake, of course.

Seems you don't know that BOTH are original!

The one Lambotsavy had in his car is in reality a Countach wheel with a cover in the center, it never looked good but they never exchanged them from the factory. 80% of the Jalpas have the one he bought now.

Thanks for all the replies. I will change it to the newer version and just keep the old one as taurean bull suggested. My son likes the old one, he says it look more like a race car with that wheel, but I agree with Raymond, i think it's ugly compared to the newer version.
