I have seen steering wheels that D&C trim in Blackpool have recovered - looked excellent, colour coded as well.
Dave & Chris are ex factory.
No idea on prices but they seem reasonable overall.

Trimtec in Dudley did mine some years back for £95.
Somebody else removed & refitted the wheel for me £34
And I bought the leather from TVR Bromsgrove for £53

Your quote looks a good price smile

They did the carpets on my Wedge - excellent job.

Sounds a deal to me, I'd love it done in Alcantara but I'm not sure how long it'd stay "fluffy" for?

The alcantara on my Racing Puma stayed fluffy for about the first 15k but i was really conscious about it wearing and tended to hold the wheel top and bottom off the alcantara when i could. I wouldn't advise anyone to do this a it made the car look like it had done more miles than it had and cost a fair bit to replace! Looks and feels fantastic though! So decide for yourself.......

I had a nice suede wheel that lost its fluff despite all efforts to stave off the infestation of shinyness. Anyone had their dash done in alcantara? Quite fancy that.

I think it is prone to fade too if the car is left outside.

I read a post from someone who had Alcantara in an M3/5 and said that it was quite badly marked and scuffed after 6 months.
