Gents,

Any suggestions on how to get this onto the beautiful Taycan steering wheel?

Electrical tape is out, just so that's said :)

Edit: Found this thread. Will review and see. Has anyone else done it already, perhaps?

There were some examples of very nice results on that thread. I ordered some of the sample size 3M 1080 vinyl wrap that was mentioned (the other option was gaffers tape). If one of the samples I ordered is a match for my Mamba Green, I will try it. It was less than $10 for a few samples through Amazon so not a big investment and fully reversible.

There are cable ties with velcro in any color you want.
Those are great for these applications as these can be removed without any damage to the leather/racetex.
They can be cut to the width and length you prefer.

I ordered samples of 4 different green vinyl wraps (3M 1080 and VViViD) with my fingers crossed that one would match my Mamba Green. Success. The matte green from VViViD vinyl was super close to Mamba Green. I ordered VVivid+ Matte Metallic Green (Ghost) and the Matte Metallic Lime Green from Amazon (1 ft x 5ft roll) for about $11 each. I don't know if Amazon mixed up the labels. The one that was labelled by Amazon as Matte Metallic Lime Green was the one I used (it is the darker of the two). On the website, it looks like the darker one is the Matte Metallic Green (Ghost).

I think the steering wheel stripe adds a nice pop to the black interior to match the Mamba Green interior trim on the doors. It was super easy to do (just stretch the vinyl a bit to get it to fall into the grooves) and is fully reversible. It took me two tries to get the final result.

Excellent result!
Very well done!
It's all in the details...
I'm still waiting on my Velcro cable ties (I have racetex on my steering wheel).

Thank you. Most of the posts on the 911 rennlist forum recommend using 1/2 inch gaffers tape or vinyl. I discovered that it was too wide. I went down by 1/8 inch and then pulled on the vinyl to stretch it a bit to fit into the seams on the steering wheel.

Ah sorry, didn't look good.
Then I tried white film but decided that it's not a race car and just went with my standard alcantara steering wheel... :)

Just put my red stripe on the steering wheel and it looks awesome. I have the “alcantara “style wheel covering which sticks well to the adhesive on vinyl wraps. I used an Oracal vinyl but most brands should work. Check out the photo...
