Default New suede trimmed wheel if youre interested

Okay chaps im still fighting with the carbon and awaiting hardware.
So this was a bit of a cheer up when i came home to see my new suede trimmed steering wheel had arrived.
Heres the new one.. same as the old one
Out with the old.

In with the new


It looks grey in the pics but thats just the way they have come out. Im really pleased with it. Not as pretty as the old one but much more track focused.
This now means i have to wear gloves but funk it... who cares

All this suede is giving me some marvelous flashbacks Thank you Frayz

I once went out with a girl that wore the most wonderful pair of suede hot pants.

You've made an old man very happy.

Wow, doing it on your own car is one thing, but doing it to someone elses!

Sure it will be fine

Other places may do it cheaper but I personally wouldnt wanna do it for less than £200 + Parts. I have to account for the cost of any accidental damage and the stress required in cutting a hole in someone elses roof.

Sure does.

Like i said mate.. its not a job that i take lightly. Other places may do it cheaper but whether they will spend the time and care that i would is questionable.
