I have just purchased this below
I have fitted aftermarket wheels before but without linking the horn up. So has anyone fitted one that could advise me on how to fit it properly with the horn working etc.. ?
Also is there certain boss's that I should stay away from like, without self the cancel bit or something like that?

Fitting / having that steering wheel will be an MOT failure on a 206 from April.
Pointless mod on a road car.
Just sell it on & let some chav find out the hard way

Correct.
All UK spec 206 had a drivers airbag factory fitted so removing it will be an automatic mot fail

I am not permanently keeping the steering wheel on and would like to take it to a track once or twice a year so I could easily swap the wheel over as it take about 5 minutes to swap over.
I have used a 2amp fuse that has been soldered to two wires and connected the air bag connector and completes the circuit so the warning light works as it should, my only problem is how to wire the horn up correctly and I have no access to a multimeter until I return to work on Wednesday and to be honest I'm not all to clued up on the electrical Side of things.
My problem is that in the picture below you will see the original connector and two wires with spade connectors that I will be connecting back in. The horn however only has one spade connection on it so am I missing something?

The horn is probably earthed through the bolt that holds it to the chassis.
I can see a dead 206 coming up very shortly.

Why do you even need a horn on a track car?

We shall see. A couple of hot laps can't do it too much harm....... **Touches a big piece of timber**.
So one of them wires will be live and one will be for earth. So I should find out which is which and connect the live to the horn and ground the other one. As you can tell electronics are not my strong point.

I refer to my previous comment.
If you are not 100% sure about what you are doing, leave well alone.
