Right, basically someone has said to me that that isnt a leather steering wheel because it hasnt got thumb rests, but if you look you can clearly see stitching

That's leather. The plastic one is very plasticky indeed, and does not feature any stitching at all. Enjoy your tenner!

The Sport Steering Wheel with perforated leather wrap and thumb grips wasn't introduced until 2002-12 production.
