Alcantara Steering Wheel trim!

[Joe Hryszko]

What do you guys think to this? (Not sure if im allowed to post listings from the bay if im not just remove it)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-C...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3ce4663bb8

I am so tempted as its something I wanted to do anyway just not sure on the price, is this reasonable?

Also, can anyone direct me where to get an alcantara gear gaiter! (preferably one already made up i can just buy)

Thanks guys,

Joe

Looks nice, or you could get a price from Snappy for one of his refurbs ?

Does he do alcantara? I thought it was just a retrim in the leather etc?

 

[Joe Hryszko]

Also can't seem to find any way to contact him, you got any contact details mate?

 

[Dan@Greenlight]

If you just search ' snappy' some stuff should come up. I queried it before and I think he does

Amazing, I had a look & couldn't find anything! Thanks for this mate I have sent him a PM

do you know how easy it is to get an alcantara/suede gear gaiter? I have had a quick look & there doesn't seem to be any for sale anywhere!

 

[Dan@Greenlight]

No worries, I am not sure how easy it is to get the gear gaiters to be honest, if I see one I will be sure to link it.

If you search on eBay for clio gear gaitors a couple will come up with different stitching colours, ask them they do it but it's like a fake alcantara, I'll see if I know there name but here's mine although it's more black in person.

The eBay name is topgaiters

About 13-14 quid? All you have to do is swap the plastic ring base over from the old one to the new which is only stapled on, 10 mins work.

send them a message on eBay, you can choose your stitching colour aswell mine being grey.

Found them, do they have a listing for these or do I just need to PM him?

I never found a listing but there's a lot to go through so I couldn't be too sure! I just messaged them and asked for what I wanted.

They may have different colours of fake alcantara but again I'm not sure, just to give you a heads up that mines almost black so won't match sport interior if that's what your after

how do you tell fake alcantera ? as alcantera is a man made "fake" suede in reality

 

[ForceIndia]

I've had a snappy wheel, and a couple done by royal steering wheels. I'll be using royal again! From memory Ali had his sabelt rs wheel done by royal.
Did this for me earlier in the year.

The price is a main factor as I believe alcantara is quite expensive and I'm not sure if true but the real deal has markings on the back?

but its still fake suede ?

 

[GrahamS]

I was wondering when this company were going to start offering clio wheel refurb. They've been around for years.
