Anyone got a recommendation for getting my steering wheel re-covered - it's been done with an Alacantra type finish but the colour has faded a bit and I want to put it back to leather.
It's a standard Tuscan mk 1 wheel...

D&C Trim do a great job with steering wheels. Expect the other recommended trimmers do as well.

If its a standard wheel and you're after just a standard leather finish, it may be cheaper just to buy a replacement.

If you do need it re-trimming, 'Royal Steering Wheels' get a great deal of positive feedback:-

D & C Trim did mine for the Tuscan and did an excellent job.

I've sent mine off to Royal steering wheels along with the alcantara colour I wanted. I'll post some pics up when it's back.

Looks the nuts. I've just finished retrimmimg my car in Wilton and have put the wheel on. Will get some better pics but here's a shot close to completion. I think it was £120 plus I bought the alcantara.

In August my Cerb wheel is going to Dave the Trimmer!

Done elsewhere it in Red Alcantara previously, Dave did a Mega job on my interior and now Im biting the bullet. Going Red Alcantara again with Grey button pods, flush centre mark and stitching.
