    Steering wheel re-trim

    I'm after having my S2 wheel re-trimmed in alcantara. Can anyone recommend a particular place?

    Cheers

        Wheels...

        I am not a fan of Alcantara on the steer ing wheel. Don't get me wrong, I love Alcantara on seats and have the inner seat panels on both my Audis covered in this stuff but on a steering wheel they will pick up the grease off your hands and set up an adverse sort of patina. I had the wheel on Da Monstah covered in perforated leather and the results are fabulous. This wheel feels oh so good.

          How much does it cost roughly to have a wheel retrimmed?

                    p.s Alcantara on steering wheels is only good when wearing gloves for grip, that was its origional intention

                    if you`ve ever had lash back from a steering wheel on track after a tank slapper it burns like ****, seriousley!
