Default Royal steering wheels

Just a quick post to say a massive thank you to Jack and all at Royal steering Wheels. My new wheel is fitted and to say I'm happy is an understatement and all so smooth from the first email/txt to the quick delivery and help a big thanks from me and if anyone is looking for a new/reconditioned steering wheel look no further than Jack and Royal Steering Wheels.

Here's one he did for the previous owner of my car. Didn't like it at first (nothing to do with quality which is top notch) but it's growing on me now.
Got a standard replacement coming so don't quite know what to do now. If only it didn't have the blue centre marker at the top, it would be fine.

Jack did my re-profiled flat bottom steering wheel on my R35.
Faultless workmanship & great service.
Wouldn't go anywhere else & a bargain for £350 fitted!

I've heard recently that they are very busy and lead times have gone out the window. Friend had his done recently so hopefully they are still in business.

They are 10 minutes away from my house, so if I get a chance this weekend I'll go visit them for you to check up.

Feel free to give me a pm with your mobile number as it may be easier to text.

Why not just use black leather dye on the blue marker if that is the only thing you don't like about the wheel ?

they're defo still in business. posts on various forums about good quality work recently. but as said, I think theyre a victim of their own success and just very busy now! Be patient, I'm pretty confident your money is safe. when a friend of mine gets his cars done (I think theyve done about 3 of his wheels now), he usually goes down there and deals direct with them in person. always very good service

I dunno, not sure about these, they look very thick - as if they put the alcantara over the old leather? But then maybe chunky is ok....
