leebottrill Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Does anyone know the best solution to fixing the peeling silver bits on the steering wheel? Is there somewhere you can just buy new ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy_Baton Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Paint/Dip/Wrap the panels and find a company to provide stickers for the controls (if you've got a DE, on a HR the control labels are on the buttons so it shouldn't matter). Its something I've been meaning to do for a while. If you find somebody to provide stickers it may be worth doing a group buy. I think you need transfers rather than stickers though. You can get second hand ones from plenty of traders on here, new ones would be from Nissan. I think this is what you need in terms of transfers: http://www.approved.co.uk/StandardDryTransfers.html ~£50 for an A4 sheet +£15 delivery!, you could probably fit 50 on a sheet. It might be something I think of doing over the winter (but don't depend on me...), the place I linked to is 20 minutes away from me so I could cut out the delivery charge.

gareth29 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I just scraped all the coating off when it started to peel - it looks nicer without the labels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggieteepo Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Mines doing this and I was thinking of respraying... Are they easy to remove? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy_Baton Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 You have to take the steering wheel of and I think it has security screws on it, you've also got to be careful to not set the airbag off. But its totally something the home mechanic can tackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbad Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I just took mine off and sent them to aquagraphix for hydro dipping - mind you am doing the whole interior (centre console grab handle strut brace gear surround vents etc.) - I will put pictures up when I take delivery next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggieteepo Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Thank Randy I will take a look around for some advice first, pretty confident with doing my own work so will give it a go. When you say security screws any heads up on what to expect so I can prepare, is there a special bit I need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargara Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Thank Randy I will take a look around for some advice first, pretty confident with doing my own work so will give it a go. When you say security screws any heads up on what to expect so I can prepare, is there a special bit I need? Unfortunately so, the airbag is secured with some kind of special anti-tamper bolt that you wont have a bit to fit unless you purchased one. A lot of faff involved for something as simple as removing the plastic surround around the buttons I think this is the bugger: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Air-Bag-Module-Bolt-Anti-Theft-Bolt-Drivers-Side-NISSAN-OEM-999L2AL000-/191219045544 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
