If they dont see this thread we will PM them (give them a day or two) I know you like to do everything yesterday :snigger:

Might be best to change the title too..(I might split it)

Perhaps you can check this thread first for the steering wheel.

Then you can do this.

As to the other parts, I believe you knew better how to remove them than me. Or, you can consider to buy pre-cutted trim vinyl/sticker to use without taking the parts off. That's available on ebay.
