Title: steering wheel - hairline scratch
Post by: mrggg on December 17, 2015, 06:15:12 pm

Been silly and now theres a scratch on the top part of the leather steering wheel, which is the size of the blade on the gti car key :fighting:

Rang a few retrim places who want to replace the whole steering wheel leather for £130. The rest of the leather is in ok condition so im thinking this can be repaired,  with some filler and then a coat of dye or paint for a satin finish.

Anyone have any advice and know of anyone in and around London who could repair this?

Thanks.

Good excuse for an alcantara retrim for the wheel?

Sometimes it's cheaper to source a wheel off ebay or there's a £12 leather repair kit available.
