Sport steering wheel centre retrimmed in Alcantara

HI Just thought I would share my latest project, I had the usual scratched plastic part on the sport wheel on my 05 .
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
