Capese i thought all horn controls were that way i know the exsisting
wheel which is on the car is exactly the same as the ones on the wheel
ive just refurbished as for pics i wished i knew how to post them which
is just as well because you would be sick of the sight of my car..LOL

imho bits of vinyl stuck over the buttons so you can no longer see the Horn symbol will look amateurish.

But I may well be wrong Any pictures?
