My Steering wheel - recovered

Didn't have a leather bound steering wheel Sad and didn't like the feel of the standard wheel, especially as I found it slippy to hold.
Bought a MY13 heated wheel before I did all the research and found it would cost me a fortune to get it operating - if indeed it would operate! Confused
But I used it in the meantime - as I decided just to have my original wheel sent away for a re-trim.

Got the wheel custom covered to my requirements:-
Added thumb grips.
Made 3mm thicker
Covered in smoooooooth black nappa leather
Perforated leather covering exactly where I wanted it.
Black stitching.

Absolute fantastic job, not cheap but cheaper than a new wheel [which is really what you get].
Now every time I handle it, it's just like stroking Megan Fox's naked body. Mr. Green

I was going to write a long reply telling you how good it looks, but I can't stop thinking about Megan Fox being naked.

That is gorgeous.

When you say "not cheap", bearing in mind you would appear to be a Scot living in Yorkshire so more than a fiver is "not cheap", how much more than a fiver?

Royal Steering Wheels in Aylesbury, contact is Jack.

http://royalsteeringwheels.com

Price for mine was £129 plus postage.
But it all depends on exactly what you want.
You can have coloured leathers and/or stitching.
As said, although it seems expensive, but it's just like a new wheel.

Jack can also do you a wheel from stock, then when ready he sends you the re trimmed wheel and you send him yours..... deposits do apply though. FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

Thanks chaps Thumbs Up

When you think about it, just as your tyres are the only contact point your FL2 has with the road;
your hands are the only direct contact point with your FL2.
And as touch is one of our senses, if it feels good we're happier in ourselves.
So for me, although expensive, it's well worth the money. FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Scotland 2014 Freelander 2 TD4_e Dynamic Manual Fuji White

I have been toying with the idea of getting mine retrimmed from ebony leather to pimento to match the interior! Only thing that's been putting me off is if the heated wheel stops working or doesn't work as well if they retrim onto on existing leather and then the warranty will be void Laughing Whistle
