Cannockwolf Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Fitted Alcantara gators for the gearstick and the handbrake, thinking about going alcantara on the steering wheel as well but need to wear this one out as its still in very good nick after jack covered it.

Quiksilver_TR Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Gaiters look nice. Different to the normal leather. Like :-) What/how the steering wheel covered?? Cannockwolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannockwolf Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 jack in banbury (i think) (called royal summat) recovered my wheel in leather but he can do alcantara re-covering too, does a damn good job too, mine was £105 back then, probably more now Quiksilver_TR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mneth1986 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Looks ace, love to see something different especially when it works. I think he's moved to Aylesbury now when I enquired for my 325 (royal steering wheels) Cannockwolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're literally just down the road from me in Aylesbury. (Ah, beaten by mneth - teach me to skim read!) The gatiors look good too, prefer them to leather ones!

Cannockwolf Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 In preparation for getting torque running I needed to sort a lead out that would not impead my driving, normal cables hang down quite a lot with me being a lanky bugger it would have been knocked constantly and looks crap too, so found this right angle extension lead that has a low profile and it just long enough to reach through the hole on the panels onto the gap behind the cubbyhole tray where i can have the lead out of the way. all in all this is a brilliant solution thats virtually hidden from view, plus not relocating the plug means garages can still use it as normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be interested in it if its the style I was going for and even have a spare wheel that you could use to get retrimmed in alcantara if you wanted to come to a deal of somesort?

momo Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 You want your steering wheel re-trimmed? Jack is your man! http://royalsteeringwheels.com/contact-us/ Here's his gallery on picasa: http://picasaweb.google.com/jamizerski/E46M# This is my wheel: (Black stitching.. Didn't want //M tri-colour..) That was 2 years ago now I think? The perforated leather has flattened since, but now looks like I have the genuine BMW performance wheel!

L333JSA Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Yeh I know where you get it done......but if you read the recent posts CannockWolf was umming and arring over perhaps getting his retrimmed to match his new gaitors.....I was suggesting a way of him getting some money back on his existing wheel rather then waiting for it to wear out!!

Cannockwolf Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 lol ok what about £50 and the m-sport wheel you have spare, plus can you swap them over? that's well under half the price of you getting yours recovered by jack the way jack works is he sends me a wheel after i pay plus a £150 deposit for it then when i send it back i get the refund, i just need to send him the same wheel in good condition (on the bits that show of course) whatcha think?

L333JSA Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Consider the deal done sir!! Yeh I can swap it no problems - takes 10 mins. The spare wheel is worn at the top....not that it matters. When would you like to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannockwolf Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) ok cool nah that doesnt matter about that part of the wheel ill email jack for details and get it started then now do i have white stitch, black stitch or m tri colour? got to be the tri colour i think Edited June 6, 2013 by Cannockwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L333JSA Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Sounds good! Difficult one.....gotta match the gaitors surely? Did you have tri-colour gaitors too before you swapped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannockwolf Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) no just plain black leather but my current wheel i tricolour and i like that Edited June 6, 2013 by Cannockwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I think it'd look better if you matched them up with your gaitors so Alc with black stitching.. Cannockwolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannockwolf Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Pressed plates for the rear fitted, the yellow colour is quite darker to the regular plate, is that normal? seriously considering going plateless on the front for a while and see how the local police take it, they don't seem to give a flying f**k about it not being spaced correctly and the 50% tints, actually had them talking to me next to the car when the shop alarm went off, and got 'chatted' to about my speed (not overly excessive mind) and he even mentioned the plate and still let be go, didn't even say get the plate changed! Im going to leave it on for the road trip in Europe, don't want to give them amunition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) Looks about right. They don't have quite same impact or appeal as the proper euro versions. The UK font is too thick and blocky imo. Edited June 6, 2013 by Rebel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
