Title: Steering Wheel - cosmetics
Post by: Johnny_tro on October 19, 2011, 09:40:55 am

Is it possible to have the stitching re-done? cahnge the colour? as I'm not sure if it's removeable?

There are vehicle coach work companies that do this sort of thing, so I assume it's do-able.

These guys are not far from me, have a good rep, and have been around for ever:

I've not had anything personally done by them but others have & I've heard only good things.

yeah it's possible. should cost about £150, of which pretty much all of that is labour

Cool, thanks guys

I was not sure if the stitching was removeable - i.e. real if you understand what I mean

I had mine done for around £120 but this was stitching over the existing. To take it off and get it restitched would have cost me double, i was told.
