Doddler Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) Hi, I am getting my 987.2 Spyder steering wheel retrimmed in Alcantara from royalsteeringwheels using there exchange process. Ive watched a few YouTube videos in how to get the steering wheel off but wondered if anybody has any good tips so I don't mess it up. Also if I wanted to replace the centre piece of the steering wheel (its silver I'd like black), does anybody know where I could get a replacement from or is it a case of searching the breakers yards.

Menoporsche Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Odd, I thought the SW centre should be black like your centre column. 7.1 is silver, 7.2 is black, usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinewood Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 My steering wheel. is exactly the same (987.2 S) + steering wheel controls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Daniel Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 @Doddler Price of a black centre piece will be more than having yours professionally painted. And I bet you could even get a good result with a rattle can. Steering wheel removal is easy but getting the steering wheel trim off on some wheels is sometimes a risky business. My 987 Gen 1 came apart no problem but Jack recommended letting him take my 981 wheel apart to avoid breakages, watching the process I'm glad I did. Ask his advise on strip down.

Lonewolfgjp Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 I would imagine that wheel is simple to strip down using some trim tools. I think it would look good in satin/Matt black and that would make for a easier Diy. Another option is to remove it and get it professionally wrapped in what ever you fancy. Removal and installation is easy, just make sure you disconnect the battery at least a half hour before you start removing the airbag 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddler Posted May 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Thanks everyone. Effectively I’m getting a new wheel retrimmed in alcantara with red stripe marker. I then have to remove the wheels innards of my existing one ie airbag module plus silver cross member and transfer to new wheel. I thought originally that the cross member would come with the new one but that does not seem to be the case. Think I’ll keep it silver unless I can find a spare black one.
