I believe it was possibly me with the steering wheel trim being painted (on the old forum)?

I took a piece of door trim to a motor factors. They mixed a match for for me and popped it into a rattle can, but i'm not sure if anyone can do that now? 'elf and safety etc :(

From the old style to new was one of my early 'upgrades', years ago now in fact. I hated the original set-up.

That spray isn't a perfect match but isn't far off. See here viewtopic.php?f=22&t=108
