I still really want a flat bottomed wheel. Ultimately want flat bottomed wheel with that finish ^^

Summer time I'll do it

I need that in my life :party:
Title: Re: Steering wheel re trim
Post by: aledbeswick on February 22, 2012, 07:04:47 pm: I am going ahead with the re-trim with RoyalSteeringWheels.com. I don't think I am brave enough to go with the alcantara so I think I am doing - padded 1mm, perforated sides, nappa top/bottom, red stitching.

Price for this is 105GBP + 9.99 GBP P&P(DHL next day recorded delivery).

I will post pics when it is done - I may still change my mind and I'm still not sure weather to go with perforated sides or top/bottom?
