Yet another job ticked off the todo list.
Was fed up looking at the polished black plastic spokes on the steering wheel I too decided to go silver, oh so much better look.
Spray painted titanium silver and 3 coats of lacquer, all done in the conservatory too

Looks very nice, and a definite improvement over the black.

I have the silver ones to fit on mine, just not gotten round to doing it yet as tossing up whether to get a new steering wheel as well as mine is pretty shiny. There is a difference between knowing your sh!t and knowing you're sh!t

I've seen the silver spokes you can buy on powerfull and i think they'd look nice. The airbag puts me off though. Was it difficult?

+1...worried about the Airbag removal too GONE 2010 Facelifted 3.6 TDV8 - Stornoway Grey + 22" Overfinch Olympus

I was going to buy new spokes but now I'll get the old rattle can going. I use Simoniz Silver wheel spray which works a treat and looks very much like Titanium.

Is removing the airbag simple? Geoff

this will help chaps,

air bag is a doddle you can use a knitting needle as well un spiked or grind the end off a thin screwdriver push into the hole either side of the back and pull as you insert to get it off a side at a time my mrs could do it  _____________________________________________________

Looks great, was thinking of something along those lines. Question though - did you use a primer and if so what type?

Air bag is pretty simple to take off, it just needs a bit of patience to get the clips to release, was easier for me as i had a wheel i was replacing so could see the clips. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

thanks chaps, ok to answer a few questions, the air bag is a doddle to do, just disconnect the negative on the battery first. The primer I used was a plastic grey primer, this one from these guys...

The silver is a BMW paint code 354

I used mentholated spirits first to clean of the black rubbery coating then sanded down with 240 then 600 paper.

3 ( maybe 4 ) coats of lacquer and job done.
Left for 15, 20 minutes between coats ( except primer that was 12 hours) and 1 hour between lacquer drying and fitting as it was nice and warm today in the conservatory, fitted all together and job done!

Its worth doing and not that Im a tight arse, 90 quid for plastic pieces is just taking the rise imo.

The youtube how to's helped





In less then 24 hours you guys too could have nice shiny spokes  If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

£90 for plastic pieces from certain sellers. I paid half that for the same items from a different seller. Genuine parts, too.

Anyway, easy job, even for a twit like me. Si. <This is my name.

I eat rat poison.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

This looks like the next job for me....I changed the wheel on my D3 some years back. Turn to 90deg and release clip, is it similar ?

Little surprised Conor (Googsy) isn't on this thread...I may beat him to 'piano spokes'  Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

He he i have the silver ones already since i upgraded my wheel ages ago. Im done with piano its taken ages. Btw i bought a piano black gear lever to finish bet you missed that on yours  Present :2008 TDV8 HSE
