There was not much on the net for the install. Being a novice, it was not straight forward. Ended up not using all the components from the Dakai boss kit and somehow pulled the horn button apart resulting in springs and metal plates flying everywhere. Took a while to search the room for the parts. Ended up just using the horn, bolts and the cover. Found the cover had a weak magnet to stick to the bolts but will use an adhesive too. Did a dry run below.
Just holding it I found it to be very balanced and well weighted. On the negative side, it came with no instructions.
On the back of the steering wheel there is a 5 digit code that you can input into the Nardi website to confirm authenticity.
Will put it on later and will let you know how it feels on the car driving.

Are you serious? An aftermarket steering wheels couldn't be any more straight forward which is why they don't bother with instructions... But good to hear you figured it out in the end

The horn button goes on the outside, this will hold the black ring in place too so you won't need to add any adhesives to it. Those metal rings are adapters so that you can use a Momo style horn button.

Do you have a step by step guide jv or others? The wheels with the allen keys are straight forward but these with the horn cover are baffling.

Ummm...... there's not really much to know.
• Bolt hub to car.
• Bolt wheel to hub.
• Sit trim ring in place.
• Connect wire to horn button.
• Whack horn button into place.

How do you keep the black round ring on .... baffling jv.
I love the stock wheel too. Interior below before the new Nardi gets put on, once I 100% certain how to install it.

Deary me. It was a journey to get it right GTR4N. Did not get it right yesterday according to jv's advice, I had the horn under the rim not over. The horn had to cover the outer rim cover and it was a pain to get in, The horn spring was way too hard. Did a search on Google and plenty others had the same problem.
Procedure - Boss connects to the horn rim connects to the wheel connects to the outer rim and the horn goes over and this is where the problem! It just would not got in. Had to eventually use a small thin blade to slide the spring in.
Finish product ...

You do realise that you will have to remove the horn button and clock spring in order to install the new wheel?
Notice wheel by the way

Getting it off is the easy part. Just punch it through from the back.
Plain dangerous that it came with no instructions.
