As my horn button hangs on for dear life (I fear every honk may be it’s last) I’m looking for a replacement; I recall some activity on the Samba but it’s all pretty old news.

I stumbled (in typical fashion) on this site, anyone have any experience with this place?

About $40 is doable, I don’t think there’s an emblem involved tho…

Thanks

Have you checked the screws? The part of the pad that holds on to the wheel has several that come loose.

Sub’d, mine disintegrated last year, could use a replacement…

No, it’s the horn button that has essentially disintegrated. Takes but the gentlest of taps to sound the horn, I’m expecting one day for it to not stop beeping…


IRC, I checked the measurement on the wheel, the 77.5 mm diameter is good. I’m just not sure what material these are made of, the site is not really clear on that. I’d want the horn to function of course…

“Our parts can be made of carbon, ABS, resin…”

I have the same problem.

Yes, it’s rather ambiguous...

So I just went through the purchase procedure to see what came up, unfortunately the shipping went from €6 to €36...that’s about $80 delivered

So for kicks I upped it to 3 units, the shipping remained at €36

Group Buy???

I’m in, would be nice to get a 3rd…

Ok, if I can get their info translated from French it may be a bit more clear. The English option doesn’t seem to work on every page of their site. I’d like to be sure that it’s going to be like what’s shown, black, and flexible so that the horn will work. Something I saw on the Samba was rigid and disabled the beeps…

all of the original parts are available to tighten it up and in my opinion that is the best option

George, I’m only referring to the rubber horn button. Everything else about the wheel is fine.

Here’s a pic for clarity…

Hmmm;
From their ad:

“studied with meticulousness and reflection. The materials are chosen for their technical and mechanical characteristics. Resistance, durability, quality and aesthetics are among our priorities for your car parts.

Our car spare parts are made in 3D printing on the basis of original parts.

They are made in France in our premises based in Bordeaux.

Our parts can be made of carbon, ABS, resin…

All our 3D reproduced parts with “post-production” finishes are handmade by us and made to measure.

Indeed the delivery time can therefore vary depending on the finishes up to 10 working days.

We do 3D reproduction for all brands, BMW parts, Audi parts, Volkswagen parts, Renault parts, Peugeot parts, Citroën parts and many more.

We sell new automotive trim and fittings, interior or exterior, all over the world.“

Exactly Jim, hence my trepidation…


I’d like to contact them but no Sprechen, I mean no hablo, dammit!

No poullez vous Francais

I was just in Bordeaux 2 weeks ago…

Ugh, mine looked exactly like yours ( pink Porsche emblem too), I delicately touched it to take it off and it fell apart…

Dang, who’da thunk. Timing is everything

And yeah, the pink emblem is pretty ugly

And I’m also reluctant to take it off without a replacement.

Pat, sent you a pm

I’m in if you decide to move forward…
