Had mine a few months and it makes all the difference to the driving experience. Jack does a great job.

Great stuff Thumbs Up

After nearly a year of having mine done by Jack, it's still as good as new.
It really does lift the quality, feel and look of the interior.
Well worth it. Thumbs Up FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

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

Like the look of this.

Now that you have had time with the wheel would you still get the thumb bits added?

Also, did you get the wheel made thicker and was it just a case of wrapping the original wheel with no extra padding?

Loving the wheel .
Yes i would still have the thumb grips added again feels more natural when holding in my opinion. I did have it made thicker yes and feels alot better when driving.

Ditto all except the thumb grips as I didn't want those. The wheel is great and makes a big difference to the driving experience.

I've been looking at these on ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401023311263?_tr...EBIDX%3AIT Same exchange options. Anyone used them?

I have also just made contact with Royal Steering Wheels to see what they can offer. Whilst searching google i came across some bad feedback for Royal. Mainly on a BMW M3 forum. People not happy with the stitching and the gap between the leather was inconsistent. The feedback was from 2014 so are you guys happy with his recent work?

Cheers

There will always be some that are not happy ...... like anything in life.
But after what must be a year with Jack's wheel, I cannot fault it.
Workmanship is excellent and still as good as new.
Personally I'd never go anywhere else.
