toughguyhuh Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 That looks great, mine's looking very shiny recently and the cruise up down lever has the rubberised coating coming off. What did you pay back then? Must factor in 2 years of exploding inflation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilos100 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Agreed..that looks excellent! Did they make the steering wheel a bit 'chunkier' ?. Looks way better...I'm not that far away in Taplow....if its reasonable I may do that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must factor in 2 years of exploding inflation! i cant remember i know i gave a paypal deposit of 50, the rest may have been cash, but he does a whole different combination, alcantara, nappa leather, perforated (which is what i went for) you can specify anything stiching colour. i do remember him being cheaper then most, hence why i made the trip from the south coast to get it done. but it has lasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Looks like a nice job but too chunky and the reason is that they trim over the existing leather rather than strip the original leather and re-trim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calypso-E34 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 +1 for Royal Steering Wheels! Jack has done a few for me when I had E34s, and he does exceptional work for a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
