Ok so my steering wheel has gone beyond “leather treatment” done it several times now but the coating has worn through

So......didn’t know if to just keep my eye out for a decent second hand replacement ?

Or.......have mine re-trimmed or replace with another type

Have you had your Re-trimmed did you go standard or opt for something a bit different ?

Pics / process / costs / options / feedback would be good !

I’m based Midlands Tamworth have had a look online not much info tbh ?

Mono fighters are a pretty good replacement. I used to have one years ago and if I remember correctly it was the same boss.

I have a Momo fighter wood rim on one of my cars... and apart from a 'TVR' horn press not being available without some mods (I seriously disliked the centre moulding and that had to go)

Ok so that steering wheel is the same as what I have now ? (But in better nick) ?

Googled the wine wow there’s so many different ones from what I have seen it’s more the region than the actual wine ? So without any knowledge on wine at all still have no idea what it is you want ? I know red and white !

But yes would like the steering wheel so be keen to work something out ?!

Big thanks to Adrian@ !!!! Enjoy the wine !!!

New steering wheel fitted even got some fresh new black bolts looks brand new !!! My old one was grey in places where the leather had worn through and left bits on your hand after driving !!
