How on earth do you remove the central panel on the steering wheel of a Jalpa? I can see that there are two clips, but then what? Does it slide up, down, etc?

Thank you.
First of all it's important to know which kind of steering wheel you have in the car, the very first cars had different ones I don't know how to take off.
My car was from 1985 with the flate plate in the middle, on this one you could simple pull and it comes off. Some cars were also equipped with the countach wheel.
I replaced mine in 2005 with a dark blue one I found on ebay.

The horn is operated by the switch of the side indicator there are no wires to the wheel.

Old style:

Countach (Raid):


Here a picture of the newer wheel in the Spyder in Dosso, the central plate is missing.

and the same complete (Nardi):
