I think if it's from a b7 then the airbags are not compatible as b6 has single stage airbags and b7 has two stage airbags!

All flat bottom wheels are dual stage, I think you would need to be mad to fit a dual stage airbag into a single stage system.

Plus the adaption seems a bit much, could get something like this if you like airbags Steering wheel AUDI A4 B6 B7 RS4 B5 RS6 S6 S8 A3 s-line LOOK VOLANT FLAT bottom | eBay costs more than I'd be willing to spend for it and looks a bit aftermarket but yeah it's flat bottom haha was actually tempted to get one myself but wouldn't pay that much, steering wheel functions don't matter to me but this may rule it out for you.

cant find a gray flat bottom wheel anywhere

it can be done very easy
but you run the risk of bag not working.

some work and some fail just the chance you take hazy days will sort you fitting etc and also the parts.

Which cosmetics are more important? A nice steering wheel or your face? If the airbag doesn't work you run the risk of the "nut behind the wheel" hitting the nut that holds the wheel on...

Speak to Jack at royal steering wheels. Will do custom wheel for you however want and it's done on exchange basis. Lovely work. Very impressive.

Quite like the look of that but assume the prices are nuts.
