Any one thinking of gettin a steering wheel retrim

[stevenEK9]

sorry to hear this! Must be in the minority as Royal did a brilliant job of my wheel just a few months back

[adem.csl]

Ive only just got back from zandvoort 8 hour journey and im on my way to jacks to get this sorted as like a fool i didn't buy a spare wheel at £70 eBay so if it did go wrong i would still have mine.
He has offered to supply me another wheel because he cut mine and do another set of gaitors even he said they look crap!!

Future advice buy a cheap eBay wheel n send that off so if yours ain't bad damaged at least you have a fall back!!

StevenEK, did you deliberately get the red marker on your wheel to match your red trainers with blue socks?

Adem, my wheel needs re-trimming and I'm still inclined to take the risk and send it to Royal. I don't know of any other options and it seems like 50/50 risk is worth the chance. Let me know if you get it resolved.

Issue resolved im not 100% happy but i guess you get what you pay for and for £135 you will probabily end up with my wheel cos he has to palm that off.i got there and he had already retrimmed another wheel guess what ironically the way i wanted it trimmed and the gaitor was close to good

I asked him with this second wheel is this the best you can do?he replied im not a machine and if you want a 400£ retrim im not your man!!!


This is his straight stitch!not straight its wonky but the stitch is straight!

I won't use him again pay extra 30 get Transcal to do one!im gonna buy a wheel and send it to them see how good they are!!

Gaitor stitched straighter and the top has been finished too but again he had that or a refund!!!

Adem I see it and I cringed. That's unacceptable work mate.

He did a wheel for me, was bit floppy. Told him, and he redid it for me. It's fine now.

Got a pic of your wheel?

I popped into Transcal today (Bristol) to ask about a retrim on the CSL wheel. They didnt have any alcantara in stock but recommended that the wheel is retrimmed in Alston suede which is apparently harder wearing than alcantara. I'm waiting for a call back to see if they can get the 9002 alcantara as I want it as close to OEM as possible. They did said that all the CSL wheels they have retrimmed recently have been in this Alston but they didnt have a wheel to show me. If I get my done I'll post up some picks

[billyboysm3]

Please do

What kind of pricing dude??
Sounds good a harder wearing trim!!
And are they doin the m stitch?
