Do you advise me to remove the airbags?
I have no idea what the European regulations are, but I believe here in the UK it is illegal to remove or 'prevent from functioning' the airbag(s) from a vehicle which was originally made with them in. At the very least you would fail the MOT test, would possibly be prosecuted, and (as +8Rich says) your Insurers would gleefully refuse any claim (even if it's not your fault).
