Clio RS mk1 steering wheel, what to do with it?

[Hardcore RS]

hello,

its known that the steering wheel from a 2000 RS is very bad quality, you rip pieces off like its cake:S

my steering wheel is in very bad condition so the question is.... what to do?

i have 4 options i think:

-New or used steering wheel clio RS 2000... with the chance its been prety fucked up again in a while....

-Clio RS 2001or higher mk2 wheel, like the looks more then the MK1 wheel but would it fitt?

-let someone make an new leather cover for it

-an Isotta stuurhoes special made for clio, about 80 euros but you have to fit it yourself?

so somebody does have any xperience with this question?

Ive seen the ph2 wheel fitted to a ph1 but I think there are issues wiring the airbag, your best bet is to fit the full leather wheel from the RSI/172 exclusive.

Has anyone found out how much a new wheel costs from Renault?

 

[JR]

yeh 200 notes fella for a brand new rsi leather wheel

 

[Hardcore RS]

cant i use the airbag on she mk1 wheel in the mk2 wheel? because that will change the wiring problem?

 

[JR]

no it wont fit fella.

the Mk2 wheel will fall apart before long... i wouldn't bother.

 

[Hardcore RS]

ok thx is th mk2 wheel such as bad as the mk1 wheel?

 

[JR]

the mk 2 is worse lol

 

[fUbAr]

it melts if the sun catches it for any length of time, and the thumb grips peel off.

I preferred my worn out Ph1 wheel, although saying that my Ph2 wheel is still perfect after 27k.

 

[Hardcore RS]

loll renault rulez! are there any aftermarket steering wheels with airbag?

now im gonna think serious about taking an isotta steering wheel cover

 

[fUbAr]

it costs about £100 to get your wheel professionally retrimmed in leather.

 

[JR]

send me the details bud , lol

i got the quote from Gybson & Boyyd (spelling is probably completely wrong) about a year back. The lady that works there is a member on here.

based in Eastleigh. Do a search for their work, they posted pictures of project cars they've worked on.

 

[JR]

oh yeh i remember them, i mite give them a call, but i would need a spare really first.

 

[fUbAr]

i seem to recall them mentioning an exchange basis in one of their threads, which would be useful.

 

[Hardcore RS]

hmm thx for this information dont know if i can do something with it because i live in the netherlands....

 

[JR]

Just spoke to them, if i could get 10 people including myself then a re trim would be 175

 

[Dcds4]

thats alot isnt it if a new rsi wheel is 200?

 

[JR]

i will double check the price of the rsi wheel now

 

[JR]

just been told that they are £228 + vat retail for an rsi wheel.

 

[Dcds4]

interesting, anyone know how much a non sport rubber steering wheel is?

or are they just rubbish?

 

[JR]

shite, lol

 

[fUbAr]

wow, im sure i was quoted around £100 last year.

Maybe it was £200 ... lol

 

[cat171]

I thought she was quoting about £150 tbh.

 

[JR]
