Cheapest repair/mod ever...

I actually like that, there's no way my 'ho would've let me get that. Odd that the center console ain't covered too.

Oh yeah, sorry about going OT.

Couldn't resist

Oh, and many thanks for the link, Mrfickle

Mine arrived today

[Shoppinit]

Mine never turned up

Ordered another one.

Mine did arrive but it's 2000 odd miles from the car so I have to wait till I visit home.

Any tips for removing the old one? I don't like to go near the steering wheel with anything too sharp

I'm with JC on this..any tips for removal would be appreciated

Use a flat small srewdiver and push it between the wheel and the badge (left or right side, rather than top or bottom) leaver it out, Push new badge in, job done!
Replaced mine also.

I was so eager to do it, I just popped it out with the corner of a credit card instead of opening the tool box. I would have thought that the flat head screwdriver is the way to go or even your misses' fingernail will do it. Frankly, it is a piece of p...

Question is: would you get upset if I used your missus fingernail?

Now that the subject of replacement cosmetics has been raised, does anyone know if it's possible to replace the temp buttons? I hope it's not just mine that are fecked? And yes - it winds me up

Nope you're not alone

Kind of embarrassing really for a car of this price range when it was new that the buttons wear off after a few years. None of my volvo's ever had trim peeling off or buttons becoming unreadable.

My dad's C70 is only 1 year old, hasn't done many miles and the velvety rubberised coating is coming off the grab handles even worse than on the Audi. It looks a proper mess. I can't believe they still haven't got this right. I've told him to take it back under warranty.

My aircon buttons are fine. I think it depends on how often you change the temp and whether you use your nail or not.

Ah right, the "Ford" generation. Never had any of those. Last one I had was the previous model S60, superb interior quality ('06). Everything they built with Ford parts afterwards was pretty crappy, they even ditched the 5-cylinder engine, bastards. My dad has the S80 built on Ford parts and it's pretty mediocre quality for the price.

I briefly drove a GM saab 9-3 turbo, the trim also came off that if you so much as looked at it.

Bump, now I'm soon to be part of the three spoke club. I've ordered a new steering emblem, I tried to get them at the same price as you lot but this is the response I got from the seller (Why do I always get these sorts of sellers).
Anyway, ordered it from my dealer, £25.03. It was cheaper then eBay and they can get it the next day.
