Chaps,
I was looking at powerful UK steering wheel button stick on parts however at 84 quid I am thinking that some paint will do the job. Can the binnacle be opened and split for paint please ?

I am doing the spokes so it'd be an ideal chance to do the two

 Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

Great decision, most things powerfulUK sell are cheap tat IMHO. The only thing I have ever purchased from them was the small PCB's that allegedly cure the fog lamp issue on 2010 rear lights, needless to say they didn't work.

I'm sure many people here are satisfied customers and that's just my opinion.

Not really had anything of value off them, but the YT vids are good....aside from the endless piano loop music...if I can get the binnacle split I will paint it. Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

I've got the stick-on covers for the wheel centre buttons and the bloody self-edhesive tape wasn't sticky enough. Yes, I fully cleaned and cleaned and wiped and cleaned and so-on.

I used a tiny amount of adhesive to complete the job but I find the cover depth means button operation isn't as easy as it used to be as the buttons are now more recessed. I am rather picky, though.

So, with hindsight, I think painting them would be a better, more 'factory' option.

I'm sure it would be possible to buy a good secondhand 'wheel centre set and try on that. If it works, you simply swap and incur minimal downtime for 'wheel removal. If not, you've not had the relative hassle of removal and disassembly beforehand. Si. <This is my name.

I eat rat poison.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

I have genuine LR piano dash fittings and so after messing with some stick on parts, some vinyl wrap and lots of messing I stripped, primed and painted the bits I wanted with 100% better results. I want the binnacle gloss black and the spokes silver alas no one seems to be able to tell me if the binnacle can be stripped for painting...dont fancy masking up individual buttons !! Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

I'm swapping a steering wheel next week for a mate, I'll have a look and let you know.... Pete

What do you mean by binnacle. Buttons are attached to airbag and not wheel itself. Present :2008 TDV8 HSE
Gone Audi A5 2.7TDI
Gone Discovery 3 HSE

Gone Range Rover 2.5 DSE

Yes they are, but can you remove the casing where the buttons sit - to paint it ? Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

Yes Nick you can Does yours have a Phone answer button?

Thanks Craig, it's off....a series of v.small Torx screws later they are off, stripped and primed....

the bloody wheel took some juggling off though....not as easy as the powerful vid was....but thats the difference between Pro (him) and amatuer (me)...  Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

I have a set here Nick but without the phone answer button in Piano black

Mine has the steering mounted phone controls, but thanks anyway  Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

No worries
