GTI steering wheel badge changed to MY 2011 spec (page3)

[Snoopy]

Now i have to try and figure out if it just pushes in or slides in(which meens removing the airbag.)



 

[Jimble]

What kind of fixings does it have snoopy?

[Steve30]

Sounds like to much hard work ^^^ 

[Snoopy]

Its like a half push in stud, which makes me think it slides in 

[Jimble]

That looks like you just pop it out of the rubbery part of the wheel to me? Start at the bottom maybe with a trim tool.

This forum makes me chuckle.

In the Mk1 and 2 sections you get people telling of how they have clambered over cars at the breakers to take a 50p part from a Austin Maxi, then get it into their workshop where they have welded and filed and ground it to make it fit some part of their Mk1-2 in order to keep it on the road for a few more months. You make your way through the Mk3, 4 and 5 sections until you get here. The Mk6 section. Where people can't figure out how to replace a clip on badge on their steering wheel.

Maybe it's just me, but part of the fun of owning a car is doing jobs on it myself, whether it be my Mk2 or my Mk6.

Thing is though, people will be climbing round scrap yards in 20 years trying to find bits for there mk6 while mk13 owners will be trying doing the same thing as we are now.

It's a little thing but thats what these forums are for, big and small advice. Mk5 owners were doing the same things 5 years ago.

So i don't want to damage a £400 steeringwheel  
I have run a mk1 for over 21 years and done a nut and bolt bare metal restoration on it in that time by myself (excluding top coat). I also have a 60s mini i did the same too including full paint. I am in the process of restoring a 50s Armstrong siddley at the moment. I do things properly unlike those guys you talk about.
