Have you considered doing the bottom insert, but leaving the small rectangular bit where the GTI badge is alone?

Kudos should be given to Mr Morty for ingeniously thinking up of another way to wrap your steering wheel badge. I like!  :happy2:



That does look great :happy2:

I've just wrapped my Ed30 wheel with the buttons. I didn't bother taking the airbag off, just did them in situ. They look pretty good IMHO. I'd post the pix on here if I knew how.

^Looks Great :happy2:

Not sure how mine would look with the OSIR CF GTI badge which is shiny. Can you get glossy CF wrap?

Might try that as got some somewhere :happy2:

I'm assuming you have to remove the airbag to get the bits out? Thats the bit that worries me as never done that and don't have VCDS if I end up with an error.

Yes airbag off for the MFSW buttons, but not for blank ones.

I didn't get any faults that needing clearing with VCDS after removing it to fit the cruise last week.

Same again today when i took it off to trim these. All i did get was a steering wheel light, all needed for that was go left lock and hold, centre, right lock and hold. Release, and it went out. 

cheers

You can't laquer it mate. Gets rid of the whole effect it just fills the gaps and smooths it right out :(

The latest vinyl carbons are pretty good and I don't think need varnishing. I did my Recaro backs in carbon vinyl:
