Steering wheel recover- any thoughts?

Hi all,

got the supe in for a respray and been looking at the tired steering wheel. The stitching has come away on the upper part so a simple sand and recolour will only do so much.

I can find new covers online which stitch on, but none which go up the, erm spokes? Is that right? They all just go round the outside- will look a bit rubbish. Anyone have any ideas where to get a new one which fits like OEM?

thanks

Got a few quotes from companies and they were all extortionate and then asked a few people and they recommend royal steeringwheels who came back with a very good quote. One of my mates works for a camper van builders and they use them as well as his boss who buys and sells lots of high end cars so should be very good

I can also highly recommend Royal Steeringwheels as I had mine re-trimmed by them and they also added some more thickness to the diameter part to make it like wheels in newer cars.

Wow- that looks amazing. Can I ask how much that cost? Did you have an option to just buy the cover, or just the retrim?

Sorry I can’t remember how much I paid now as got mine done back in 2015, no didn’t have the option to buy a cover just the retrim. You can choose any type of leather or other material like suede etc.
