Steering Emblem
#1
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
My steering wheel emblem is dented. Replacing it would require replacing the airbag. So, I was thinking of using an overlay sticker on top of the emblem. Although, I am not sure what the size of my emblem is. I am posting a picture of the steering wheel of my car. Can anyone tell me what the size of the emblem is(diameter)? Can anyone provide links of where I can buy these overlays from?

I get my anger out on you guys, and my steering wheel emblem is FINE

PS Trinity's emblems are aftermarket? Not sure, but I know for a fact that the OEM emblem has to "open up" in case of an airbag deployment, whereas some (or all?) aftermarket emblems do not have this feature, thereby preventing the airbag from deploying properly - should you ever (God forbid!) need one.

our roundels for the steering wheel are full roundels that go over the existing one
as for our wheel caps and for hood and trunk, they are full replacements.

The steering wheel roundel diameter is 45mm. Contact member Trinity Autosport or Nerweezy, they will be able to sell the steering wheel emblem to you. ![Thumbsup](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/thumbsup.gif)
