Steering wheel retrim - Page 4

magnust · 26-03-2011, 03:56 PM

Bought a protective cover to spare the new alcantara when the car is left to the garage for service or when I shift wheels or something and need to move the car:

Ok Chaps need a hand I need the steering wheel redone (its shocking at the moment) However I really do need a company that does advanced replacements and it seems transcal do not offer this service. I do not want to have to go throught the hassle of purchasing a new wheel just for 1-2 weeks of use. So advice is needed if possible or if there is noone out there do any of you chaps have a spare wheel I can borrow/pay for while I get mine done?

Have you shaved and cleaned it first? I done this on mine a while ago and was amazed how well it came up.

I have not to be honest however the 1/4 to 3 grip area is so worn I think its getting to the point of wearing though I also wanted to bring the car upto a standard as it looks a little tired on the cloth side. However on the cleaning element what did you use or recommend?

How can I not take this seriously

Ask a stupid question and get a sarcastic reply

Many thanks though, I still need though for you other lot a advanced replacement sterring wheel company or a loaner.

Honestly that raceglaze alcantara cleaner is great stuff. I was amazed how much dirt it removed that i didn't realise was there to begin with.

Chris-CSL · 31-08-2012, 09:01 PM

Many thanks Chris, Just ordered some of that stuff plus the cloth now just got to wait for it

If its as good as you say then i might delay the purchase of a new wheel :/

A shave is required as well, I must do mine again soon too.

I have a spare wheel lying around and will send it to them to have it done in Alcantara. What I want to know is if they can make the steering a bit thicker like the E9X M3's in the same cost
