I have done 69k Km and i wonder why u all have so much struggle with ur Steering wheels ....mine looks like new.....

i'm replacing mines in the next few months. i frequently sit peeling it off for fun, it's addictive actually. 50% of the fake leather vinyl coverage has been peeled back, getting replaced with a 350 mm mugen wheel that i've had my eye spy's on for a little while now

I didn't, I've only just bought the car and the receipt is in there for it.

I managed to put a nice gash in the top of mine off my ring so just bought a fitted leather cover over it - I hate them most of the time but the one I got is actually spot on!

Anyone got photos of alternative material for the wheel? I.e. standard wheel, just redone. Was thinking of doing this when it goes real bad, but not sure what exactly to do - perforated leather / alcantara, all alcantara etc...

theres a dude on cliosport.net can't mind his name who reupholsters steering wheels ''snappy'' his name is on there come to think about it. get in contact with him, he's pretty much the go to guy for your steering wheel refinishes. the endless list of wheels he has done for clio's is awesome.

Don't think I'll be sending a wheel out to UK for refurb, will rather do it locally But will try find him & his work -was asking more re. which way to go visually.

Alcantra would be nice then stick some stripes on like the Gordini ones at the top of the wheel and get contrast stitching.

I want to get my VXR wheel retrimmed alcantra with white stitching and the top stripe white and would like it chunkier
