There's no legal requirement to have an airbag fitted, however -

1. You'd be a plank to remove a potentially life saving piece of safety equipment.

2. If you do, you'll need to fool the ECU that the airbag is still there - good quality kits come with a resistor complete with the correct connector to plug in place of the airbag.

3. Your insurers will want to know about it - good luck on any personal injury claims if you don't declare and have an accident!

perfectly legal to remove your airbag, I'm driving round with my airbag removed from my car at the moment. It's not checked on the MOT or anything, so if you want to replace it...go ahead :)
