Edit: I think the AliExpress part is not worth the risk. Purchased OEM airbag. I do think there are better quality, perhaps even actual OE parts on Aliexpress, based on seller photos, than the one I got that may be fine. The plastic welds on the inside of mine holding the badge on were an absolute mess.

I hadn’t seen this info here when searching, and it’s entirely possible I missed it, but I’ve been looking at a steering wheel swap in our Alltrack and was curious to see if I could re-use the factory airbag. The answer is yes.
You just need to purchase a GTI airbag cover from AliExpress or wherever you want, and swap the cover onto the Golf’s stock airbag.
Came across this polish video I hadn’t seen before in earlier searches.
