Steering Wheel Spacer + Sticky Stuff Removal

Post by mikeyb13 » Thu Jun 13, 2013 6:30 pm

Wondering if anyone has used a steering wheel spacer with a standard S1 steering wheel. Find my knees getting in the road a touch when Im driving.
All I can see advertised is this for a snap on

Also looking to replace the rear arch protectors, anyone got any tips for removing without damaging the paintwork.

I used that same spacer with 30mm M6 set cap-head set screws. Simple once the wheel is off.

Did you need to use any other parts to get the horn to work?

No, there was enough slack in the wires. Simple crimp job if not.
