Default Steering Wheel Needs Attention
Can you help?

If you take a look at the photo of my steering wheel the paint has starting to rub off, I wont bore you with the details but does anybody know the best way to 'touch' this up or have any suggestions to improve this way this currently looks?

Thank you thank you thank you.

Give it go Jo!! You can do it. The cool thing of it all is, you can paint it the original silver or color-match the spokes to your bug's color. Then that will lead to painting the other trim pieces and before you know it, you'll be paint savvy.

Take your time with it and have fun in the process. Keep us posted on your progress and final results.

Cheers

Al

They're solid aluminum. You'll never wear through those.

Were the Turbo S spokes ever sold as a seperate part (without ordering the whole steering wheel)?

Nope, you need to order the complete steering wheel.

It took me 3 years to find one.

Should we order Turbo S steering wheel from VW dealer or we can find it online like ebay?

Can we get the steering wheel from part store or we have to go to the dealer to order them? I just want to find a cheaper
one.

Sometimes people will sell just the spoke covers for the Turbo S wheels. Keep an eye out in junk yards too for Turbo S cars. I got a set of spokes that way...snagged them off of a wheel in a Turbo S in the junkyard. Then when my NB was wrecked I sold the spokes separately
