Typically most wheels fit the spline so can be physically bolted in to the car, however the airbag wiring usually needs adapting to fit and getting the buttons to work will be a whole world of fun.
With regards to the airbag, it'll depend on whether the wheel in question has single or double stage firing - the former is effectively just a case of splicing in the appropriate connector, the latter is more of a nuisance and not really something I'm qualified to give advice on given it's a safety-critical bit of that black magic electrical wizardry
To get the wheel horn and airbag is easy enough just two wires but to get the buttons working is a lot more involved a need a new canbus fitting and other bits wiring
That wheel is not recommended by the retro fit companies as getting the controls working is rather not possible or to much involved you want the one from a a4/a5 with mode button and a single stage 8v airbag
I fitted One like this but you want one without an airbag so you can fit the 8v airbag
To get the buttons working I was quoted £500 plus vat but their isn't many diy guides out there so I'm not sure what canbus you would need
IIRC you need the wheel control module from an 8P something or other precoded to do all the button stuff... later 8L's have canbus to the instruments and radio which I think is all you need but as mentioned info on this seems quite difficult to get hold of without a degree of financial and time investment
