Royal Wheels Re-Trim

Recommended Posts

Alcantara will soon start to look manky unless you wear driving gloves all the time. Leather FTW.

Imo i prefer the leather look as it matches the airbag more

:lol: It's an E30. That's the horn push!.

Ashley, are you fitting an Mtech2 or is that just for example?

Correct, no safety features here!

No just an example, can't find any pictures of an SE wheel thats been done, so going to have mine thickened up and have some thumb bits added.

Plus can't quite justify spending £100 + on a Mtech 2 wheel to then spend another £100+ having it re-trimmed! :lol:

I never liked the MTech2 anyway. I had a 370mm MTech1 in my E30. :)

Agreed - much nicer wheel.

I'd go leather too. I love alcantara, but wear would be my concern, and as said, it won't really blend in anywhere

IIRC, he was a bit on the slow side replying when I first enquired. Did someone say he has a day job at Mini in Cowley??

So in the end I went for: thickened wheel with thumb grips, perforated sides, smooth top and bottom and M tri-colour stitching.

I sent the wheel of last week and was received by Jack on Tuesday, I sent payment over on Tuesday and Jack emailed to say he would keep me updated.

I emailed Jack today, just to ask how he was getting on. I was not expecting the wheel to be ready at all as i knew it could take 2 weeks. Jack emailed me back within 30mins and said the wheel had been posted and would be back with me tomorrow!

What excellent service! I have not seen it yet but i'm sure it will look brilliant.

Pictures to follow tomorrow :D
