Easy. There is a small hole in the back of the steering wheel. Just insert a flathead screwdriver and you will feel a tension wire. If you press up on that, it will release the airbag. There is a YouTube video on how to do this. I don't know if the the sport wheel uses the same airbag as the standard one but I definitely know the M-Sport wheel uses a different one.

I know you probably have your mind set on it (otherwise you would not have considered the retrofit!), however from my experience... I would have preferred the standard steering wheel.
I have an M Sport wheel with paddles,and sometimes it just seems too thick and uncomfortable (and I have big hands)... when I compare it to the non-M-sport that I did my test drive in. The M Sport one looks cool, but functionally for city and long driving I find less in control than expected. YMMV, just my 2cents worth
