Top-quality yet again. I am just following along at this point lol. I have cleaned up my door handles and window switches, fitted the same head unit haha. Buttons look great, my silver bits do not need spraying thankfully. I do need to investigate my horn while the airbag is off though. Look forward to the wheel painting video. I have a small worn patch so will probably copy along with that video as well lol. Thanks

Great to hear, thanks, the steering wheel came out great, definitely worth doing... When it comes to horn, I usually start at the horn itself, I check for voltage, if I got it, horn needs replacing, if not, check fuses, and move toward steering wheel...

Hi ARC Garage! I'm wondering if you can made a video explaining how to retro-fit the steering wheel controls in a 147 that doesn't have that yet. I really want to build that in, compared with a Bose set (which I still need to build in as well). Let me know! I would be very gratefull.

Hello, I have a question about plastic trim around and behind the steering wheel. I heard that they are mounted by plastic tabs from the factory, but mine are very loose and the tabs don't even seem to click in and wobble around as the result. Is it ok to glue them (with what glue) or find another solution?

You can use super glue only on edges just don't use a lot so you can separate it again
