Love the quilting myself, gives a real quality feel imo. Could do with a clean, blacks not the best for spotless....

[GTRene]

MMM I like.

[alex_gray255]

Very nice

[griffgray]

Is that steering wheel in Alcantara, as that is what I would of preferred but Dave reckons it would get dirty and sweaty and not stay very nice for long so being recovered in leather as original. I am sure the GT3 wheels are in Alcantara though.

Lots of steering wheels are. I take Dave's point though...
Might find this of interest...

Yes its alcantara and i do agree they last no where near as long, mines done about 2800 miles of use now and is in very good condition, i reckon you might get 10k miles out of one, that said i am in the building trade and my hand are like sandpaper. A normal person could well get 30k out of one.

All aside though they are much nicer to use than leather imo.

Thank you Alex and Jasper. This is why I love P/H. Have now been on YouTube looking at Alcantara and Personal steering wheels for 1/2 an hour. Why is it you get so distracted when you see other topics that are so interesting.......

The feel of the wheel is important and this is the right time for me to get it how I want it. As the car is not a daily drive, I really fancy the thought of the soft Alcantara feel. I will probably do 3-4k max miles per year, with the odd euro road trip and having ' soft hands" no jokes please, I reckon with a bit of careful cleaning, could manage.

I will speak to Dave in the morning, having promised him I wouldn't keep changing my mind.

[alex_gray255]

Don't worry, I gave him almost as much trouble as well when I did my car.

Plus, I'm still speaking with him now about doing a few other little things I forgot the first time around...

I think he's used to TVR drivers now and our little "ways"

Stage 1 complete - new C/F leather inserts on wheel...



Many thanks to Dave the Trimmer for a great job done very cost effectively and at quite short notice

[alex_gray255]

Next project - CF engine and chassis, eh, Simon?

Looking good!

[spartridge]

next stage in progress down at Reverie....

[alex_gray255]

I'm doing a modified version of this one next year to finish off the re-trim in my beast.

Still need to workout with Dave the specifics of the design I want to use, but I think it looks quite good.

[alex_gray255]

People can guess what these are. Should be easy despite the crap pics...





Clue...
- Its long
- Got lots of straps
- Prevents things getting dirty
- There are two of them
- Liquid proof

Bags to store all the bits you've swapped?

No where near big enough

Ha! That would hold nothing.

But does remind me, I need to sell the Bilstein shocks, glass spoiler, personal steering wheel and standard inspection bonnet sometime as those are taking up too much room...

Next instalment...

[m3jappa]

Ok the carbon stuff is pretty sensual.

Spartridge is there a thread on your car? Ls7 isn't it?

[spartridge]

Hi Jasper - did a thread about a year or so ago on the LS7 conversion but have done a few more upgrades since then. Might have to put something together on it when I get a chance.
