Default Steering Wheel Retrim

Hi all, I would like to get my steering wheel retrimmed in suade, (depending on cost) Does anyone know where I can get this done around the Cwmbran/ Newport area or any members local who do this??

Cheers
Jay

I picked up a doner STi wheel & had it trimmed at a place in the midlands:
Black alcantara, with red alcantara centre stipe!

Very nice jobs done on the steering wheels gents, I think it will finish off the interior nicely by the time I fit the flocked dash and centre console kit I have

How much did it cost to get done if you don't mind me asking??

That was around what I was expecting. I didn't really want to change the wheel tbh, it's a Momo Race which has a nice feel to it.

I kept my OE wheel (which is in storage now) & just purchased an exact same wheel & changed out my airbag.
I only increased the diameter (with neoprene) for a bit better feel & it seems to have worked!

I'm going to get it done anyway as the colour on the leather has started to peel off.
I hope I can get the car registered by then as I've payed to go to this Prodrive bash. I'm trying to trace an electrical fault which is stopping me from taking it for an MOT hence delaying things a little. The result of being parked in my garage for 7 years without any tlc since being imported from Japan I guess
