Steering wheel Badge - LotusTalk

jriva · 03-01-2006, 05:31 PM

I ordered the black and silver steering wheel badge from trickster, and was wondering if i remove the one that's in there already, will it set anything off? Is there a certain way of doing it not to damage anything?

LMK

thanks
Jarett

Hi guys ....hopefully someone will help me out with this ...but someone just mentioned that the federal car has a small steering wheel badge like 40mm ...is this correct ...this is to do with the wheel inserts and on the s1 uk cars the badge is as close as dammit the same so the inserts can work for a change over ...but if the federals arnt the same then the inserts wont fit and i dont want to dissapoint you guys with saying the badges will ...has anyone taken off the steering badge yet and checked size and depth ..if so drop me a pm or a post on here would ya...thanks all

Since I have a drivers air bag that went off I can tell you the badge is held on by two tabs bent over in the rubber on the backside. I can take some pics tonight of what it looks like.

Nick, The badge is 38mm. A combination euro, non-airbag wheel with a black and silver insert, along with the bits to convert, would be the perfect solution for me

Well F*** is all I can say....alot of inserts have been sent guys already, the ones that havent and pmd back to say or nay on how many and what they are using it for hopefully I caught...wish I hadn't done this batch as way way too much aggro...see what you get guys and whatever problems arise from whats in the post we'll sort out somehow ...and thanks for the replys guys as sorted out the conflicting info once and for all

Here it is, the badge is actually held on by 4 metal tabs. You can't get to it from behind as it is all part of the airbag assembly and you can not dismantle it without damaging it.

I don't think I would try to pry the badge off for fear of ripping the rubber.

Just so you can see what a balck badge looks like...ok its a UK car but it gives you an idea.

Andyexiges2 · 03-13-2006, 12:12 AM

With the wheel and bonnet badge I think suits the car.
