Sport steering wheel centre retrimmed in Alcantara
So after after reading the 'How to' section regarding the air bag removal etc thought I'd give it a go. How simple is this as a project, loosen all 5 small torx10 srews at the back of the wheel first, then pull fuse 44 out, pop out airbag , it will sit happily ontop of wheel no need to disconnect anything electrical remove plastic part , turn it over,remove 2 screws on each switch pack to remove. I then trimmed the part with Alcantara , was thinking of some matt black leather but thought this looked better. Put everything back together no problems what-so-ever.Pop airbag back in, replace fuse 44, then turn on ignition spin wheel to make tightening up the 5 screws easier for yourself. I'm very pleased with results. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() thankyou for the guidance X555 E53 FACELIFT STEERING WHEEL TRIM REPLACEMENT

Very nice work. Especially how well the compound corners are wrapped and the inserts and seams fit.

I just spread a thin coat of adhesive on both parts ,left to dry/go tacky for about 10-15 mins then just carefully smoothed out the fabric over the part.The most scary part was trimming around the switch packs,I used a brand new scalpel blade and carefully cut around the wholes from the back .
