I need some help. The chrome on the steering wheel is driving me crazy. I would like to do something about it. Does anyone have any ideas?

I have already asked a user where he got his emblem. But even after weeks, I have not received an answer. I assume that he does not know how to reply to private messages and therefore does not see them.

Then I bought attachments from aliexpress. but they are too big.

Just to remove the emblem I do not dare. I have not found a video for this and therefore do not know how it looks underneath.

Is there any way to solve my problem in the meantime?

I'd say do some very careful masking (they make pick and place adhesive masking films for airbrushing that should work pretty well). Once masked you could paint and clear it to the color you desire. For best results probably use some of the cheapest from ebay, etc. as trial runs.

A really good job will take time and a steady hand... but I agree that it could be worth it. Also probably would want to remove the airbag from the wheel first and do it outside of the car so you can easily turn it to get all sides evenly.

Way faster to just replace, but as noted - finding the exact emblem for replacement might be a problem. I figure with all the other "ugly" (IMO of course) floating around the cockpit... I can just ignore that bit.

Interested to know how difficult it was to get to the back of the emblem too?

Here's how to get the air bag out, I'm assuming getting the cover off is self explanatory after that
