Will a car fail a NSW blue slip with cracks in the steering wheel?

The fine ones that most original mini steering wheels have.

I filled mine with body filler, sanded back nice and smooth, sprayed with Killrust epoxy paint and it came up like new :mrgreen:

You can fill the cracks with epoxy and paint over it.

Yea, I will do that later on when I can be bothered. I just wanted to know ASAP because I was dropping my car off for a rego inspection.

Anyway, I taped them up :lol:

Lets hope they don't get curious and peel the tape off!
