Airbag/steering wheel

Hi!

Help! The topcoat on my w211 steering wheel has chipped in one small area, exposing the black plastic underneath!

Wondering if anyone has faced a similar problem?? How best to fix/repair?

If anyone has an airbag for sale, let me know! My email is sheikhg@gmail.com

In addition you can call your local dealer(s) to see who they use for minor interior repairs. If you’re on good terms with your SA, given the minimal damage, they may approve a goodwill repair. DIY alternative:

Looks like you're like me, the smallest dings & scratches absolutely drive me crazy & I can't quit thinking about them until I get them fixed.
