Today I received the final item to complete my “rest of the world Abarth” interior. I previously bought the Alcantara meter hood, lower dash, console cover with scorpion, e-brake and shifter boots. The steering wheel is the one with the red centering stripe and Abarth badge on the airbag cover.
This order wasn’t without issues.
On March 16
@Phillip33 sent me a text that
@billypaulmason in England was selling his Abarth steering wheel and did I want it? You bet. 30 minutes later PayPal made it mine. The next day I get tracking info from Parcel Monkey. Then the next day I get a package delivered notice. What the hey? Upon closer inspection of the notice I find out it was returned to sender. Great Britain shut down all non commercial export shipping due to COVID-19. Now what. Wait.
April 20 the restriction is lifted. Courier refused to ship the package due to explosive devise, the airbag. Solution was to remove the charge. 4 nuts and it’s off. I will use the charge capsule off my original wheel and all will be good.
Reshipped April 28 and it is here today May 26.
Now to do the swap.
