Color for a '66 Beetle steering wheel (045 Grey-Black)

Post by Bug-Eyed »

Does the steering wheel in the picture appear to be the correct color (L43 Grey-Black)? Someone told me mine was supposed to be Black. I just want to make sure I don't end up with another wrong part. This one appears to be a charcoal color. Is that what would be called Gray-Black?

Yeah ....pretty certain that's the right colour. Same as the OEM steering wheel in my 66. Seat frame and parking brake handle are supposed to be the same grey-black ....but they look more black than grey.
