For a Piazza Nero Grille maybe? the size of the square is 35x35mm

Nope this is the standard piazza grille badge, the nero one can be just the plain oblong "ISUZU" silver letters on black or a badge the same size as this one but balck background and the towers are silver and raised up instead of recessed. If I ever figure out how to stick a picture on here directly I'll show you. Last three attempts it has chucked me out of the forum entirely.

Ah sweet, I thought it might be too small for the standard piazza grille area which is why I asked :)

Seeing these things hold some value over on the big island, anyone willing to do a trade of this badge plus a bit of extra cash in return for a black piazza steering wheel lol

your steering wheels are the same as ours are they not? Just the cover in the middle is different and I have a spare centre cover. Wheels are harder to get in good nick as they go a bit soft and spongy after a while.

Think ours are the same as yours, just with a holden bit stuck over the isuzu logo which can be peeled off

Might see if bob has a spare wheel he wants to trade, seeing as he missed out on the import bumper.

The wheel is to put in my gemini, as the standard wheel is made of solid plastic. I've been in a accident where my head hit the top of a solid plastic wheel before and its not something id like to experience again lol hence wanting to replace it with something better (softer, less impact lol).

I intend to give the piazza wheel back to someone on here if I ever sell the car, like I did with most of the bits off the gutted piazza I bought awhile ago.

I would have thought them more in demand in OZ, I have sent a couple over there to blokes that wanted to replace the manky little holden pussy. I even sent a rear granish over in a swap for a Holden one which bloody Mike has "BORROWED"

Of course we have the North Island and South Island so we do need a west island, what do we call Tassy? the west-sort-of-south-a-bit island or just the normal name "rootyoursisterland"

Anyhoo steering wheels Roy

The trispoke one came from a bighorn "Lotus" model and was also fitted to UK HBL Piazzas. It also fits momo bosskit, this one is butchered a bit in one of the screw holes but that is no drama really, bit worn but no cuts or chunks missing. The only hassle is if you don't get the right bosskit you need to space it up onm a Piazza or your knuckles break the pod switches. Might not be a problem on a Gem though. Could be persuaded to part with it. The other one is from a standard late model bighorn but pre air bag model so no drama with that. It has the same spline as piazza but again you may need a spacer to get horn pick up to make contact. I haven't opened it up to see if it is a momo centre or the standard big one piece lump of steel integral with the wheel. Suck and see really, also available if you like.

This is my nero wheel, like the tri spoke jobby above it fits the MOMO bosskit. I have another one I got from a Bighorn irmscher fitted to my red devil as well. Hard to see in the photo but it has Irmscher embossed across the bottom.

Bloke on trade me was selling one last week, he wanted $60 for it
