Jixaman Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Nice post, mine is worn through and needs done... Cheers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HARMLU Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Sent mine off yesterday to get done. Went for perforated sides, nappa top and bottom, slightly thicker and black stitching. Basically same as Andy's minus the stitching. Was tempted to go alcantara but not sure it would go with the rest of the interior. Will post a pic on here when I get it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andywatson Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Love the wheel and love the gorgeous smell of brand new leather every time I get in, hope you are as pleased 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddcboyle Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Im presuming you can get any sort of colour stitching? And can they make the steering wheel thicker? I always feel like the oem is very thin. Although yours looks alot bigger? (steering wheel leather, before any remarks.... lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HARMLU Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Sure, it was £105 + £9.99 p&p. absolute bargain! Subtle but worthwhile mod in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HARMLU Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 It cost me £11 to send the wheel. Plus I bubble wrapped it and had to get an extra large bag so a little bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jables Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I think we've all inundated Jack with enquiries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinyflier Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Spec agreed - have elected for +4mm padding, perforated leather "east & "west", smooth nappa leather "north" & "south". Opted for the "visit & fit" option so he is using one of his 350Z steering wheels and will swap over the controls etc at time of fitting. Date of fitting set for Jan 25.

LRF4N Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I've also been in touch with him for a retrim on my skyline wheel. Came with a crappy 4 spoke one and wanted something that looks and feels better. Not keen on aftermarket wheels so picked up an r32 wheel for a tenner! Just deciding on the finish now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hmm how did I miss this. My wheel is fine I guess, but that looks so much better... *adds link to bookmarks* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HARMLU Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I went for the subtle change with black stitching. Just feels so much nicer! Top job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HARMLU Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 How long did it take from the day it was sent? One week from the day i sent to get done, a further 1 day for delivery. I wasn't using the car and had a spare steering wheel anyway. You thinking for your 370? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Thanks! Yes, of course, want some red stitching to go with the interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HARMLU Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 He does say 1-2 weeks though. He did a great job, and transforms the car in terms of feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddog1982 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 My god I so want to do this! How hard is it to remove steering wheel? wish he wasnt so far way as I cant send my steering wheel off to him. Anyone know of a grotty spare wheel for sale?

HARMLU Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I don't have a grotty wheel, but pm sent As for the steering wheel it's easy. Just make sure you disconnect battery before hand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
