Default Steer Wheel Retrims

I am picking up a 2001 WRX later in the week and the steering wheel could do with a retrim. I have been looking at the threads on here about royal steering wheels and was just looking for some pictures from people that have used them. Ideally I was thinking I'd like perforated leather with blue stitching and thumb grips.

I am still on the lookout for a widetrack but at the money I'm getting the WRX at it will keep me going in the meantime.

I'm just looking for pictures of anybody that has used them and what they went for (I.e leather, alcantara etc)

What were you thinking of doing with yours?

Don't like that design. Plus £250 is over priced. I could buy an STI wheel for £100 and get it retrimed myself for less.

Not sure mate? It's not in too bad condition but worth checking if it's worth a re trim to make it mint

Spoke to them other day Rich £130 that includes return postage. That's if you can live without your steering for abit. Or they do a swap, you send your wheel back after you receive there's. I'd prefer keep my own wheel.

If you go for it Buy a second wheel, as you use yours as daily don't you?

I have a snap off steering wheel on jay so the v3 wheel would be for sale at some point,just working out if it's worth re trimming? This steering wheel is getting quite rare now and the same wheel used on the 22b.
£120 is a decent price for what looks like quality work.
