fatalus Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I was wondering first of all if the "aluminium" bits around the cruise control and radio switches are real aluminium and if they are replaceable. The one surounding the radio switces is rather full of scratches, anyone knows if u can take it out and polish it somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 its an extremely thing ally cover the majority of the material is ABS. have to take the wheel off to remove the units. mine have suffered as well, would be interested in carbon covers. as for polishing i wouldn't try it, its a brushed ally effect i think polishing will balls it up.

fatalus Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 I imagined that brushed aluminium is not easy to polish..So except for the carbon fibre covers, does anyone know if the aluminium bits are replaceable parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 you could get them from another steering wheel 2nd hand. but i should think they are orderable from nissan, but you'll prbably have to wait for them to be shipped from japan. and i don't know what they'll charge for the privilage.

fatalus Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Sounds too much trouble (and money!). And have in mind that I always took very good care of them not to be scratched. It was after latest visit to a dealer garage that i noticed 90% of those.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
