kitch79 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) Just thought I’d post a few words and pics of my latest purchase/mod. Few weeks back after 3 years of wanting, I got my mits on a TRD wheel, I was a decent price, albeit bit rough on sides, and BLUE! Also had to from Teesside to Manchester n back on a Friday night for it! Anyhoo, 2 weeks later, it’s been reupholstered and in me supra. [emoji1303][emoji2] Black leather, perforated black leather grips, with red stitching - to match my red recaros and the TRD badge. I’m happy ha.

Rob W Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Exactly how I got mine retrimmed a couple of years ago, looks great when freshly done. Mines starting to get a shine on it now unfortunately, prefer the matt finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mines starting to get a shine on it now unfortunately, prefer the matt finish. Leather only goes shiny because of the oils and dirt build up, clean it mate with a decent cleaner and you will get it back to a matt finish. Do not use a balm on it and get a cleaner from "the leather company", they do amazing products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitch79 Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 Cheers guys. I’ll take the cleaning side of things on board, as I forgot to ask the guy when I picked it up! It’s a one man team, called ‘Hide ‘n’ seat’ based in Shildon. (North east) He applied on here for a traders thing but didn’t hear back. From what I’ve seen, does some great work.

jackso11 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 You don’t need the magic eraser. That will work but it is abrasive so not good to do again and again. All purpose cleaner and a micro fibre cloth will give the same results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjs_82 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 150 is a good price I think. I have a carbon wheel that need done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
