Steering Wheel refurb

[lordbass]

My Steering wheel was looking a bit tiredand I thought it was a bit thin like cars of old lol. I had it refurbished and made 1mm thick by jack at http://royalsteeringwheels.com/

he did a great job let me know what you think.

Before and after pics below :)

I love it. It looks great.

How much?

£150

Not bad! Though I wish the middle section would match more the new texture ;-)
Thanks for the tip - I am tempted now...

Does look good, might look at getting mine done when I get around to tidying up my LS.

Was it a one day job or longer

[lordbass]

It took a week but he had an identical wheel in stock I paid the price plus a deposit then sent my old wheel back to him after I got the new on and he refunded the deposit so I wasn't without a wheel. The centre is the old air bag which cant be changed for safety reasons.

Looks great! 

Is removing/refitting wheel a straight forward job or best left to Royal?

[lordbass]

straight forward enough took me 30 mins :)

Did you disconnect the Battery (or main fuses to isolate Battery if an rx400) when you fitted it?

Airbags make me nervous!!!

Ka-boom!!

Thanks,

Chris.

I just disconnect the negative terminal from the Battery.

Quick update I had the gear knob trimmed to match.

Personally, I like the original... BUT, it's what you like that matters!

Looks a good job.

I was thinking the same. I think it's the white stitching that doesn't look right to me. However, as Piers says, as long as you like it then it's money well spent.

The stitching is silver to match the centre console it looks white because of the camera flash.

Ah right, fair enough Mohammed - but I still prefer the original black wheel/black stitching

Thanks for the comments. As you can probably tell I like to be different lol

It'd be a strange old world if we were all the same mate - vive la différence!

Very nice indeed in my opinion.

I may need to undertake this job as My wheel is showing a bit of wear around the '2 o'clock' area.

Thanks for showing us as I'd just been looking on eBay for a matching steering wheel!
