How would these badges be on s/wheel?

Hey,

I am looking at other options for the steering wheel badge and seen this?

How do you think it would go?

looks pretty much the same as my old steering wheel badge...i reckon if they're the right size they'd do the trick..and won't come off as easily as my astra wheelcap one did :D now i have to glue it back on..

[reedaaron]

this was the one on my old corsa b..
no longer have the car so i'm not sure on the exact size, but i paid $36 for it so 4 for $12 is a bargain :D

yeah thats what i was thinking.

i used the silver wheel trim badge and stuck it onto carbon fibre sticker. badge sticks well but sticker didnt :(

[mr_sikma]

did it stick well?

look allright?

[reedaaron]

the sticker i had on my corsa b stuck no worries... i got a centrecap for an astra and used the badge off that for my corsa c.. and thomas went to hit the horn the other day and it came unstuck... sticker might be a better option if its the right size..

[auzvectra]

i used arildite on mine, it should hold, hopefully ;).

[reedaaron]

thats what i used on mine :D
it holds normally..just when it gets bumped.. thomas thought the horn was in the same spot as the vectra..so thats how it came off.. the stickers stay on better though.. that's if its even the right size..i haven't checked yet..

[auzvectra]

seems too big, i think it's about 50mm or even less, they are 55mm.

[daaaaavek]

Yep .. it's too big to fit into the recessed spot (which is about 44mm in diameter). I found some that were 45mm but they were just a touch too large, and were made of thin bendy aluminium.

I'm gonna go ahead and be the party pooper here.

Has anyone that has actually modded their steering wheel badge given any thought as to what might happen to the thing if the airbag deploys?

Given the speed of which those things pop out of there, I'd hate to think where that little aftermarket badge might fly at, or worse, embed itself in...

Pretty sure that the airbag deploys via a 'slit' underneath the centre badge - not the whole mid section of the wheel.. I know that my old F**d Focus had like a 'dotted line' where the bag deploys from which wasnt including the centre badge..

[auzvectra]

i have thought about it actually ;).
the airbag deploys from the bottom on the astra g and similar, the 2 bottom edges rip out, and the corsa C astra H ect deploy from the center.

That's good, I'm glad it has been a concern. I just hate seeing people make asthetic modifications to their vehicles and not give a thought to the potential safety risks involved :)
