Dented airbag badges? Not sure I know what your on about, any pics?

[yeti racing]

dunno if you can see it here, but ours is dented.... the previous owner was a lady and cannot work out how she did it?

You mean the BMW badge on the steering wheel. Wish you had just said that. Things get dented mate, carrying shit in and out of the car etc

I thought I had

Ours actually looks like shes punched it! Shame as it bugs the hell out of me and a new AB unit is mega dosh.

I think the badge is self-adhesive and, therefore, easily replaceable.
Not suggesting you want a 'carbon-look' one, but they're obviously available by virtue of this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/BMW-CARBON-A...sr=1-2-catcorr
Have a Google shop around.

The badge itself has three prongs into the airbag cover and it's effectively stuck. If you try to remove it you may damage the cover.

Just buy a stick on replacement.

I have thought of that, but if I stick something over an already dented badge, surely the new one will have the same effect (if stuck properly?).

Or are the stick on badges more rigid than I'm thinking?

For the sake of a few quid, why don't you just buy one. You'll then know what you're dealing with and whether or not the old one is rigid enough to sustain gentle prising in order to remove it. You'll also discover if it has locating tabs/pins or not.

Fair enough, but at least my first attempt was for a steering wheel badge. Guess I can't get it right all the time; pardon my interest
