Ditto. They do seem to go fairly cheap on ebay. MK6 gti one would be lovely or Audi one with a flat bottom  :drool:

Title: Re: steering wheel re upholstered

to be fair mate is in very good condition it will cost you more than 65 to have one trimmed mate easily
Title: Re: steering wheel re upholstered
Post by: palmtree on 03 May 2012, 21:22
I've looked into this recently and looking at around £120 to get a steering wheel re trimmed as its all hand stitched and takes time, vrs wheels go for about £80 on eBay same as anni but without the red stitching

You can pick up a decent condition 3 spoke gti wheel for around £30 or a mk1 tt wheel, same as the s3 wheel but without the little metal badge at the bottom

Post by: cullygti on 03 May 2012, 21:26

Contact Joe at TrimDeluxe. He's a mod on here and forum sponsor. Think he charges a flat rate of £120 but does a f**king top job of it!!!!
He's worked on many PVW show cars.

Cully I've got a vrs wheel & it's better than standard but not as good as I was hoping for, I joined a skoda forum & got it for £50 posted, immaculate condition.

Anyone know if the people that retrim them can put finger grooves in to the wheel?
