Alcantara Steering Wheel Fitted!

teaston · 07-01-2017, 05:08 AM

Photos really do justice to how the wheel looks and feels, for Â£150 it must the best mod available, wish I'd done it sooner!

UKF30 · 07-01-2017, 05:25 AM

I agree this is best mod for £150 so I am doing it now

Love the interior BTW

Looks really good mate, very nice mod.

scusswold · 07-01-2017, 07:37 AM

Quality look, I also am now seriously looking at this!!

C120CKA · 07-01-2017, 08:39 AM

Looks exactly what I'm after. Did you have the rim altered in any way?
i.e. Thicker narrower.

RustyBitz · 07-01-2017, 08:41 AM

Added to my list! Recon the dealer could have this done before collecting the car?

willjames · 07-01-2017, 09:18 AM

👌

Rukka · 07-01-2017, 11:37 AM

Looks great and as you say - a real bargain. Nice one.

CazuaLLUK · 07-01-2017, 11:37 AM

Awesome. I hate wheels now without alcantara now as the thickness is so much better. Also doesn't get as hot in the sun!

Greg666 · 07-01-2017, 04:02 PM

Looks really good, I'm interested in one but how easy are these to swap over?

Pretty easy, but putting all the wires back into the new wheel is a bit fiddly so not for the completely technically incompetent. Advisable to take photos of the old wheel before removing the cables.

HiBee · 07-03-2017, 03:09 PM

Looks good.

Like the carbon trim also.
I remember you fitting the trim yourself.
Do you have a link to your previous posts regarding the trim ?

Smee · 07-03-2017, 03:19 PM

Tim, if i buy one can you fit it please ?
