Possible to remove MF buttons on SE Wheel?

ElegantSpoon · 12-06-2009, 02:22 PM

Evening

I've ordered some of the Carbon Fabric from the states and I'm trying to decide what to upholster and I wanted to know if its possible to remove the MF button parts of the standard SE wheel so I could cover them?

Theres no fixings behind the wheel I can see for them and real oem doesn't seem to show them coming off but it seems odd if they don't!

Any input on this is welcome

Thanx!

Almost certainly they are removeable spoon.

Only way is to take the trim off and have a looksee.

the replacement blocks have numbers 3230 6766 870

they pull out quite easily

OT but is this neffy wrap easy applied? it looks a good alternative to the planned piano black

easily applied, but difficult to get perfect.

Might be an idea to get some trims from a breaker rather than trying my own ones then

nah, brake cleaner takes the glue straight off no problems, if it goes a bit tong
