Nope, nothing happening with this. On the lookout for a new drivers door though. Not happy with the repair I did on my one. And I Cant be bothered to redo it.

Thought do a little update on this. Refurbished the nardi steering wheel and gear knob. Nothing big. But I wanted to polish something
Before - Black anodised and the varnish pealing off

Mid way - Didn't like the black so polished it and Sanded all the old varnish off.

Gear knob - I thought I'd sand off all the varnish and try and make it lighter to match the steering wheel since it was pretty dark. But turns out it was fake wood grain painted on real wood. Which works out for me since the real wood is lighter than the fake was. lol. Still a bit strange though. Obviously it's cheap wood underneath but still.

And finished - decided to go with a matt clear varnish since I liked the looks of the natural wood so much. Such a massive improvement.
