I was super conscious when refitting. I used Loctite SuperGel to stick them back and they’d been left for a couple of weeks since then. Just had to rescrew together VERY slowly, but they nipped up nicely..smorris_12 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 11:13 am If it makes you feel better I managed to snap the lugs off the lower piece too! For some reason I thought it just levered off having just unscrewed the button panels. I epoxied them back on but think I over tightened one of them when refitting.
Many thanks. It was so enjoyable and satisfying to refurb, I'm actually considering doing another just for funSpecial Kay wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 6:07 pm That's an astonishing result, the before and after pictures really are a credit to your hard work and perseverance, very professional indeed![]()
They're chunky things, for sure. Hopefully when you come to remove the trim, the plastic holds up and you don't get a collection of small shards
I have some plastics trims to paint so I'm going to follow your guide, so last night I removed the screws.

I heated up both sides with a hair dryer and then ever so slightly tightened, just so they move and then un-did them. Came out without damage![]()
I think AliExpress has patterned regular E85 wheel trims for sale.futureZ4buyer wrote: ↑Tue Feb 28, 2023 1:53 pm That looks great!
Any idea if there are copies of steering wheel sold? I have only found OEM trims which are too expensive for cheap plastic...
My bottom trim snapped. Maybe I can fix it with super glue?
