Kyles Clio 172 Cup Project

[Kyle 86]

Hardly air bag issues mate just a light on the dash . Which can be turned off for pennies . Fitting a smaller wheel was the best mod ive ever done you get a much better feel with the steering it honestly does dude

Im defo tempted by the Sabelt dan

 

[Kyle 86]

Kyle, ive just bought an odb2 reader so i can always bring it to the next meet and wipe the light off for ya lol

Oh have ya mark gd stuff mate gd bit of kit aint they yeah that would be brill man and i forgot to ask ya how much does matey charge for the steering wheel refirb?

 

[Jekyll]

He charged me £160 inc p+p. I put the order in (colour stitching and red center band) and he got to work. Once done he sent me an pm showing pics and and payment details to which i paid via paypal. Once he received the money he then sent out the old wheel so i was not car-less/wheel-less. When i received it i swapped them over and sent the old one back to him for him to refurb for the next person.

Im not sure if he's charging more or less but that was the way i did it 18 months ago

 

[Kyle 86]

Aw sweet mate his work is top notch im gonna go for blue stitching and centre band...Do u get the carbon insert aswell

 

[Jekyll]

Of course! Lol

Cheers mate Well my redundancy date is aug as we're going through a 90 consultation atm. Ian's Suzanne has done my cv and has sent some off to some places. She may have one lined up so fingers crossed.

The BG is doing ok. Had a worried moment last week as i though my PAS was on the way out but luckily enough it was just low on fluid

Yours needs one of those SE CS stickers
