Lots of threads on here about bad service and nightmares, so I thought I would redress the balance.

Always nice to find a person with a great service, at a great price, doing good work.

Our new (to us) Boxster had the standard skinny steering weel. Swapping for the sport one wasnt an option finanically since this means a new airbag (different shapes).

Was recommended Jack at http://royalsteeringwheels.com/

For the extremely reasonable sum of £140, he made up a wheel (so no need to send mine off), building up the thumb areas as per the sport wheel, trimming in nappa leather, and stitching in red (he can of course do any colour).

I popped up Saturday and he fitted it, taking my old wheel in exchange. Quality of work is excellent, highly recommend it if your steering wheel is tired or you want a change of colour/alcantara etc etc.

After (sorry for the pics, inside garage with flash so dont do it justice)

Looks like a quality job. Looks a lot chunkier than the standard wheel.

Very nice job, so refreshing to hear something positive which i'm sure there are loads of instances, we only tend to post bad experiences.

Never actually met Jack but he has re=trimmed two wheels for me now and they still look fantastic - I'm constantly recommending him to people

£140 isnt bad at all. Will have to enquire! Thanks for the heads up.
