Default Is the emblem on the steering wheel replaceable?

The green growler on the steering wheel is showing its age. Slowly I've replaced aged interior parts like the shift knob and brake boot, but I haven't seen a replacement cap for the steering wheel. If you can replace it, are there custom ones?

The only one I've ever seen is this by Arden.

It is however a bit retro & may look out of place since it's red.

I've been looking for something similar, perhaps a wheel hub cap sticker to cut, but safety issues should be kept in mind. If you put on something that is more than a thin sticker, you risk getting it planted on your face by the airbag should something bad happen when you drive along.

I would love to replace the one in my 05 S-Type to the 07-08 one, never can find one just by itself.

This photo from Ebay (rehosted elsewhere in case it disappears) would suggest that the airbag cover splits while keeping the emblem whole, so it might not be as unsafe as I though.


The Arden emblem is 45mm, my own rough measure was 48mm but while looking we should prolly go with the Arden value.
