oem with a little twist to the norm
 

Been wanting to do it for a little while and still wanted the factory look so gave the steering wheel a little twist to the normal red stitch work

I did think about going suede and the line up the top like the rally look but so many have gone this way so thought I would do something a little different ;)

will get some more pics when its back in the car and also have my hand brake to do so will keep you all posted hope you like

pics are off my phone so not the best ;)

im not sure, maybe the grey airbag doesnt help though

I was thinking of a black air bag, pics dont really do it justice will get a few of it in the car as it will show it different.

i think black airbag and other parts like handbrake cover to match and it may look better,if you have blue sti seats it would sort of all match.

top trimming job though

Nice work Lee :thumb:

looks great, did you do this yourself?? I'm pretty much wanting the same thing done to my wheel and handbrake handle

That was the reason I done it as the seats are blue and car is blue

Wrx sti ppp o2c blue 2004 :thumb:

Handbrake will be done this week at some point

:thumb:

Thanks jay :thumb:

Yes :thumb:

post pics when fitted interested to see what it looks like, i think it will all match pretty good.

has the 04 sti got a red stitched gearknob too though??

I've change the gearknob to a duraglide black sti 6 speed gear knob

Some more of my work

Hope you like

Trimmed a van last year and one best in show at prept and same in edition 38 :cool:

amazing work

Top quality work that mate, I think when it's all in together it will work really nice, maybe do the airbag black though!

Had to look again tommy giving a compliment.

Nice finishing on the interior does look super clean!!

Thanks fella :thumb:

Yes will look at the air bag once fitted and go from there :thumb:

Thanks mate got loads more pics of things I have trimmed from classic jag xj 120s to
Modern cars / bikes and so on

What would you charge for doing the wheel and handbrake handle the same as above??

Don't think id have the courage to do it myself

Sorry but I done this for my self and not to get any business from it as I'm up to my head in work and have very little time for anything else

Thanks for asking tho

Looks fantastic Lee, will fit in lovely with the blue seats and interior..!

Lee, having seen your other work, all I can say is superb!

thanks lee and ian :notworthy

as the steering wheel was done with a different type of stitch to the oem wheel I thought hand brake could be don the same as the original :)

the stitching is a little raised at the moment as its 20 bond thread doubled up but will flatten once its used

will take a few pics once fitted :cool:

Some great work. How much is ball park to retrim a 330mm OMP style wheel in suede with some red stitching and trim some sun visors to match:wonder:

I've got all the stuff to have a crack myself but not sure I could come even close to that standard or work:norty:

Hi I think it's around 130 for a wheel to be trimmed but as for me trimming I'm so busy at my work I just about had time to do my own and that was rushed especially the hand brake :(

I should work for my self really :)

Wow, nearly as pricey as a new wheel. I might have a crack at it myself but cheers for the info:thumb:

If it's an aftermarket wheel then yes you would be better getting a new one as by the time I have bought leather, glue , cotton and how many hours it takes to prep cut and sew the wheel takes a good few hours , only benefit s the oem wheels really and not aftermarket

I'm sure when you have a go you will see what I'm talking about , if you get stuck on any bit tho just drop me a pm and I will try to help

Same as trimming all seats a car takes around 2 ad ihalf hides and for good leather it's around 160 to 200 a hide and alcantara real stuff 65 to 70 a meter top that with quilt foam glue cotton and so on just for the stuff to trim the job is totaling up to 500 plus before I add my personal time to do the job which takes the cost to around 800 to 1000 plus depending on what style / stitch etc.. lot of man hour to trim a car right and look good :thumb:

very smart :-) let me know if you start finding some time, I want to get my original Momo wheel retrimmed (currently in the loft feeling sorry for itself) and would be great to have it done by someone who knows the Subaru wheels - I'm only after a factory spec retrim but with red stitching

And yes, you should start up by yourself with skills like that!

It's the sun visors that I'll do as you can't replace them with trimmed ones:(

Thanks fella:thumb: last two days been trimming these front seats
