Default Steering Wheel Refurb - Royal Steering Wheels

When I bought my WRX recently, the steering wheel looked like it has been worn to a nice leather gloss, so used Royal Steering Wheels to get a refurb - was able to get to made to order with materials and design, and he swapped the wheel over in 10 mins, what a great chap - big shout out to Jack @ Royal Steering Wheels.

Before and after pics attached. Feels like a new car (in the hands) right now. Love it.

Yep Jack is a top guy, does exactly what you ask and it's always better than expected! Used him twice now, once on my old M3 and just recently on my WRX here: https://www.scoobynet.com/members-ga...l#post11434723

He sure is - fantastic work and some real craftsmanship! Now thinking of getting my gear and handbrake gaitors done with him as well, he can do the handbrake lever in alcantara.

Modrich, nice write up on your car - was it easy pulling out the centre console bits to respray? I'd quite like to get than done at some point as well.

Yep it's all a doddle, even the heater vent surround is just held on with 3 screws then just pulls off. Love the simplicity of these cars!

Wheel looks great. How much does it cost to get your wheel trimmed by them?
Thanks

Dibbles, it was a £50 deposit for Jack to get started and then when I rocked up at his I handed over another £90 (which included fitting - as I didn't want to get something like this too wrong!), so £140 all in, which is a bargain I feel.

Not too bad at all considering how much it lifts the interior. It looks really smart mate. Would definitely consider getting mine done one day when it becomes worse.
