BG 182 new wheel + dash stripes

[Italian_Job]

here are a few pics taken today while waiting for the jet-wash.
About a week ago I got my wheel back from http://royalsteeringwheels.com/ to find out the order was done wrong, such a shoddy job in some parts the sticking was pulling apart!
Now I finally managed to trade that terrible re-trim with the wheel in the pic below, superb job done at Rolls Royce by a guy who worked there as trimmer.
Icing on the cake, dash stripes and wheel insert in gloss black thanks spray shack!
Positive and negative comments are welcome, cheers

Looking good Al! Long time no see, hope your well!

 

[chriscummins7]

Looks really good mate!

 

[Italian_Job]

cheers guys!
Wick it's all good here, see you at some car shows this year

 

[Duffman_172]

Looks good mate, mine is being re-trimmed by a guy on here as we speak, can't wait to get it back and see how it looks!

 

[Italian_Job]

He did some nice wheels on here, a fresh re-trim makes such a difference especially if the leather was melting like butter

 

[Jekyll]

Nice on Al, looks a really nice. I know they are a big wheel but feels loads better after a decent re-trim if the original was in a bad state. Dash strips are nice and subtle too

 

[leeds_182]

Looks nice.

I'll second that, the wheel is massive but that's the price to pay to be "French"

Loving the look of that wheel.
Bit confused though, was it done by the guys on that link or not?

 

[Italian_Job]

yeah man excuse my Itanglish
they didn't do that wheel, the guys on the link are the fuckerz.

No worries

Looks very similar to one that was on ebay!

[blackcarbon]

you beat me to it got my strips ready to bg this coming weekend, looks smart though mate

 

[plymcl172]

na just being picky but, because the whole of the dash is a grey type colour the black spoils it a little on the gearknob ! :dapprove:

but the ball insert is in silver lol

 

[AKFM1]

is it hard to change the gearknob mate?

 

[Italian_Job]

yeah, its glued on the gear lever! I tried every which way there is and ended up removing the plastic insert and hacksawing the gear knob off.

 

[AKFM1]

haha ill give that a miss then, well done for you doing it though!

 

[Donny_Dog]

Wheel looks great.
Mine is also away to Mikey on here after I had discussions with Royalsteeringwheels (which were very slow and unproductive). Good job I stayed well clear.

 

[Italian_Job]

definitely the right choice mate, you won't believe what I've gone through with Royalsteeringwheelm, like you just said, they very slow and its likely they'll rush the job unless you own a carrera 911.

I loved the gloss black dash stripes and wheel insert!
The new leather on the steering also stands out! Pure mint.
The only thing I would try is to brush the top of the gearknob to match with the handles, for example.

 

[HartZ]

Looking good fella. Same dash stripes as me
