right, halfords always say no to airbag cars, this is because they dont want you to sue their arse when you crash and say "i would have been okay if i still had my airbag steering wheel in"
Silly as it seems, people would do that, so they say we dont do a boss for airbag cars, actually airbag and non airbag bosses are exactly the same.
Just be carful taking it apart, Ive got a snap off steering wheel to fit in a week or so, with a momo millenium steering wheel. my car has an airbag aswell.

Fitting a boss to an airbag car is OK aslong as you ethier:
A) Put a resistor in between the conections for you're airbag so the light on your dash for the bags doesn't stay on (MOT FAIL if is does).
B) Take out the bulb.
And for gods sake disconect the batery and leave it for 10-15 mins so it desn't go off in your face when you remove it 
Ive got a few tutorials I can scan if you need help
