Mine should be here soon, bit worried about the airbag giving me one in the face though. Is it really as simple as everyone says, and how does the airbag go back into the new wheel?

so simple mate.
Park the car with the roadwheels dead ahead, Discon battery for 20 mins just to be safe and let the airbag charge dissipate. undo the 2 torx bolts torx 30 or 35 iirc. Lift off the bag. gently prise off the yellow connector, remove the black plug, careful to keep the rotary coupler in the same position. Undo the 19mm bolt for the wheel, sometimes easier to loosen it off a couple of turns then pull the wheel till it frees, saves getting a wheel in the face
Then reverse the steps and roberts your mothers brother

I managed to fit a TF wheel on my own mate and Im a complete nutcase. I will admit I handled the airbag like a case of high explosives though
