I have one in a Tuscan mk1 and i personally think it looks very nice, a significant improvement on standard.

The mk1 has lots of stainless steel around the dash though...not sure how it would look on a mk3

I am sure its Aluminium on a MK1.

IMO the Trek R is a bit too shiny blingy

Agree with Robert. I have one in my Mk1 but not sure it works as well in later cars.

I have one on the Sag and Flying has one in the T350, i think they look much better than the standard. Your car and you will be driving it so have what you like.

A number of threads on the T350/Sag forum about Momos last year with pics if it helps make up your mind.

I swapped out the personal wheel for a momo within the first few months of owning a Sag. Did not like the OEM wheel
at all.

Just picked up my Sagaris with the momo, from the photos I had decided i really didnt like it and I'd be changing it, now I've got it I find it far more comfortable than the standard wheel and the style actually fits in really well the alloy stalks, switchgear, dash, gear knob, handbrake parts.

I think the steering wheel in the T cars lets the interior down. In feel and "look" it's just not as joyous as the interior. The Cerbera wheel is wonderful to hold and really compliments the interior.
The Momo isn't exactly right, but it is a step in the right direction. I know we buy these cars for the noise and grin factor, but let's all be honest the way they look knocks the socks off too. The personal wheel just isn't very special.



My tuppence worth view.

Got one in my T350. Best upgrade I've made!

It looks great, and feels terrific in your hands.
Hmm, that doesn't sound quite right.

I've got one in the T350C we have in stock http://www.tvr-mads.co.uk/DSC00678l.jpg
It does feel better to hold and the flat bottom does give slightly more leg room, which is surprisingly useful. I don't like that you can see the lcd screen control buttons through the spokes, but if it really annoyed me, I could reposition those slightly to hide them.

The momo is the best I've found but I know what you mean.

If not the Momo then any other suggestions?

Sticking with Momo but the Nero model would work better imo. I think Blackiepaul has one which looked good but his interior is dark so it already suited.
Maybe a minor retrim to colour code it and it'd be perfect.

All I can tell you is that Str8six told me no problem and ordered me the wheel although I am yet to find the time to get across there to have it fitted (about an hours job they think).
Others too have had the same wheel fitted to a mark 3 and I think it looks the nuts (others may disagree).

Cant comment on fitting to a mk 2 but the mk2 standard wheel houses buttons etc so maybe not possible for that reason.
