Will my Alcantra R53 steering wheels fit at 07 R56?

Both me and my buddy have the JCW alcantra steering wheels. He crashed his R53 and is getting the R56 next week. Both of us a wondering if he will be able to reuse his steering wheel? The R53 JCW steering wheel we have now is the same part # as the new JCW R56. This would be great if it could be reused because we think it is one of the best mods we have done.

I believe the center hornpush/airbag is shaped wrong if he speced a 2 spoke steering wheel. If he happens to have a 3 spoke wheel the hornpush and spoke covers should convert over to the JCW wheel.

Yeah, Thats the only reason I got the 3 spoke leather one, so It would fit. I will post pics as soon as I get my car, and no it's not pink. Although that is Mario's favorite color.
