The airbag area should just pop/cut out and you can fit the airbag

None of the airbags will work nor seat pretensioners.
5 doors do have them, the dash will have either come off a poverty spec or a very early model

I'm sure the light can be turned off by a computer, just get the car plugged into peugeot planet or similar job done,

Nope.
Quick fix would be to fit a resistor on the pass airbag.
@iainlovatt - no it can't as it's a perm fault

Only way to do it, would be to disable the airbag all together via changing the setting in the ECU

There is about 4 T20's holding the air bag blank in place
Easy swap

I have a black airbag if you're non-plexed?
If you fit the correct resistor then the Airbag ECU will think there is a airbag fitted, thus re-arming the SRS system

I'd personally fit the airbag.
Depends what equipment you have to your avail. Like I could just go out and turn the airbag off and it would take 5 minutes, or go and fit a resistor and diode as I have a stock pile of them. But it's if you can do it?
You can have it for £15 delivered.
