#006 steering wheel re-trim

[hodgy21]

I've had my steering wheel re-trimmed by snappy from cliosport.

Needless to say I am extremely happy with the results.

I asked for the following:-

Black leather
Perforated leather thumb grips
Alcatara bottom section with the Trophy logo embroidered onto it.
held together with silver stitching.

Here are the photos :

Trophy stitching:


Airbag installed:

No more sticky melted steering wheel for me, just smooth soft leather!

I just took everyone's advice! They all said that it looks odd in the pictures but in person it looks fine. I had already seen one when I was at the last big Trophy meet at the motor museum in gaydon, and I promised myself one there and then. Everything you hear about these wheels is true, they really are the best out there and they are definitely worth it.

Really smart!!

Thanks, I didn't want to have any red on it and I didn't want the top dead centre because the original item doesn't have it either. The original doesn't have alcantara, silver stitching, perforated leather or a trophy logo either, but I think what I selected looks smart and fits in with all the original surroundings and looks smart and neat. I'm glad someone else thinks the same.

Very nice, almost my perfect design. I'm not a massive fan of the centre marker either and have a couple of different ideas for mine.

Thanks hoolio, when do you think you'll be placing your order? I'm guessing you won't be releasing the details of your design until it's on your car?

That's right, but probably even simpler than yours. I have a budget for a bunch of things I would like but can't afford all those ideas yet. But that's another thread

Very nice that! I prefer them without the centre marker too.

Looks really nice! Good job!

Yeah, this looks really good. Similar to what I would like, a bit like the R26.R wheel.

someone called Snappy on Cliosports did the steering wheel, he offers an exchange service which is good, so you do not need to buy a spare steering wheel, or have you car off the road
