They want £200 plus VAT. Thats includes doing the M style stitching. I should be getting a call on Monday about whether they can get in the alcantara I want. I'll let you know how things progress.

Snap! The Bristol branch are still struggling to get the alcantara and I'm not convinced they'll get much joy. I was provided with a sample of the alternative suede that I mentioned previously. The colour 'lunar' is not a bad colour match but still not perfect and I'm not convinced it feels the same as the alcantara.

I thought the Alcantara in our cars is just a standardised colour? IIRC code 9002 or 9052?

Should be fine if they're ordering it from the Alcantara SpA themselves.

The Scottish branch of Transcal were quoting me £100 a square metre for 9002 alacantara but they could only order a minimum of 10 metres!

so how much is a genuine CSL: wheel anyway...

and when you buy a spare wheel, what wheel should be purchased? I need mine recovered but was thinking about buying a new wheel (with alcantara) and sending the old one to get it recovered.

Might be worth considering if they can get the correct Alcantara. :whistle:

and

One for sale across the pond (What are they doing with it?)

Had a new wheel through BMW about 4 years ago.....it was about £600 without the airbag and centre covers.

Quick update on wheel front for anyone thinking of getting their wheel re-trimmed by Transcal. I've sourced the 9002 alcantara from UKhide.co.uk for circa £40 as Transcal couldn't get any. The minimum order quantity is 0.5m x 1.4m which Transcal confirmed is sufficient to do one wheel. The alcantara comes in two variants. You need the 'cover' version with a mesh type backing. Transcal are charging £185 to retrim. I'll post up pics once I get it back.
