Sterring Wheel Logo Replacement

The mother of all conversions. Removing the Ugly round Naza logo from the steering wheel. I always wondered why warranty would be void if the logo is removed and now i think i know why...look closely at the photo below. This is how the steering wheel looks like with the logo removed.



As you can see, the air bag is exposed once the logo is removed.I believe that Nasim/ Peugeot are afraid that once we remove the logo and with the air bag exposed, we might do something that will cause the air bag to malfunction.  Hence I'm sure Nasim/Peugeot would not want to bear any responsibility.

So, I would advice not to remove the logo unless you really know what you are doing. Otherwise be willing to spend and do a proper conversion by changing the whole driver airbag which comes with the peugeot logo.




But if you still insists on doing it, here's how to do it. Get an Engine Emblem. The Lion logo is taken out from this emblem.

The back part of the eblem looks like this
 
Remove the double sided tape and the press the lion out


Next its time to remove the Naze Logo from the steering wheel. Remove the horn fuse, so that the horn does not sound when you pull out the logo. Try using your hands to pull out the logo. Try avoid using any tools because the streering/airbag cover is very soft and is easily scratched. You'll have to pull really hard because you need to break the 2 plastic rivets which holds the naza logo in place(look at the picture above). Once its out you can then place the lion logo.

 
You may file down the rear of the lion according to the thickness you prefer. Don't forget to fix back the horn fuse. good luck!! :-)
