My 172 Wheel Retrimmed

[Faxo]

Was about to bin this as it was well worn, until a mate at work said he knew someone who'd retrim it :approve:

Here's the result, seein as the cars a Flame Red, i had red stitching, and he got rid of the stupid thumb grips by filling them under the leather

He also said it was the hardest steering wheel he's ever had to do, so not bad for £100 me thinks

Strange how some seem to fall apart, my 88k mk2 172 steering wheel is still in great nic.

 

[Hazza]

Looks strange! Like a ph1 steering wheel and a ph2 combined!

 

[MikeyK18]

looks wierd without the thumbgrips, kinda takes away that its a RS steering wheel:S

 

[Ben.]

[Beef-Mc]

Looks strange where the grips have been filled.

Looks almost like the dynamique/cup steering wheel now.

 

[Marky_]

Hmmm. Not sure about that one. The stiching is a nice idea but i like the thumb grips.

Looks more chunky though!

I do like the stitching, but the lack of thumbgrips looks odd now.
