Default Steering Wheel replacement

Im kind of new to the forum but I will be on here more often. I'm looking to replace my steering wheel for one with wood grain. I saw these two on eBay but not sure which one to get. Nothing is wrong with the one I have except for cosmetic damage. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Depending on what year your car is, one of those will fit and one will certainly not. The bottom link is for the older style steering wheel. If you notice the title of the auction lists it as a 2008 but in the auction description it's actually from a 2003. Just match the style of the steering wheel you have now and you'll be ok, the radio controls should give you a obvious indicator.

Good move getting it from LKQ, they've got great customer service in case you get something faulty.

Thank you for responding. I do have a 2003 X-Type so the bottom one looks just like mine. Do you think installation will be a problem since it doesn't have an airbag. Shouldn't they be able to use my current airbag with the new steering wheel? Sorry for all the questions but I'm new to this and don't want to buy the wrong thing.

The airbag comes as a separate piece anyway, so that's not of concern. You'll just reuse the one you have. I've taken the steering wheel apart to fix a broken tab the dealer caused, granted it was the newer style, but it's not that much different. The JTIS details the procedure for your steering.
