Steering Wheel Retrim

Yep snappy off Clio sport is doing my R26.R wheel, I've seen his work and it's 1st class mate

 

Pm me if you want his number

 

I've had snappy wheels and royal. Royal did this.
Snappy wheels are by no means bad, but Royal are better imo.

It will be royal for me too next month.

 

I'm sure i've read somewhere that Snappy works for Bentley.

 

Snappys work is fantastic

 

How much does this typically cost?

 

I'm about to get mine done by Royal Steering Wheels, slightly thicker, perforated leather sides, alcantara top/bottom plus yellow centre stripe at 12 o'clock, yellow stitching.

Cost is £125

 

That's exactly what I'm after Scoobyr! In fact I've just emailed them this afternoon, is that price for a 250 wheel? Seems an excellent price

 

That's right mate, doing it on an exchange basis as I can't be with out the car for a week or two while it's done.

Jack, who I'm dealing with tends to take about 24 hours to respond to emails, so don't be put off if he doesn't reply straight away, but all very efficient so far....

 

Cheers, you tried removing the wheel yet? Wondering how complicated it is with an airbag? Mine will be getting sorned soon for the winter so plan on just sending the wheel off

 

Piece of piss to remove.

 

Not tried it yet, but I'm thinking I'll do it myself, the video on Royal's website shows taking a BMW steering wheel off and it looks a piece of piss, as Daz says

When you do the exchange, you get 10 days to swap and send back, so if I get into any difficulty, I'll just drop into R-Sport, who I've been going to for years to sort it out for me.

I'll post up pics when it's all sorted :cool:

 

Had email from Jack with same quote, def going ahead with it, waiting till next month when car goes off road for the winter, found a wheel removal blog here

Looks pretty straight forward

 

Cheers for that Nick, very helpful :cool:

pics to follow when I get it back.

 

Have you sent yours? When's it due back?

 

Doing mine on an exchange basis Nick, when I receive the re-trimmed wheel, I have 10 days to swap them over and send the old one to him.

He said 1 to 2 weeks to have it finished.

 

Magic, look forward to some photies

 

Get mine back tomorrow hopefully

 

Look forward to seeing the pics Steve :cool:

 

+1

 

He's just send me a pic of it nearly finished, posting it in the morning, I bought an R26 steering wheel and had it done a little different, so the cruise buttons will be scrapped then wheel swapped over so I can send my R wheel off and get that done OEM spec

 

As you can see silver stitching instead of red, red centre band and smooth leather instead of perforated , the one in my car will be done as is and I'll put that one away till it gets sold

 

Looks bloody lovely that Steve

 

Indeed, that does look good

Looking forward to getting mine back now!

 

Cheers, just a few small changes

 

Turned up today, fantastic job with brilliant packaging, even get a wheel cover with it

 

Iust off out to fit it, recomend him highly

 

Looks much better than someones elses Steve get it fitted

 

Looks great!

 

Bloody lovely

 

The thing is Ed I looked at, someone else's, and though, I can do better lol, it's fitted

 

Hopefully he'll be starting mine now that yours is done!

 

You'd swear that was a genuine item
