Obligatory Snappy Refurb Photos



  Arctic Blue 182FF
Seeing as my old steering wheel had a bit of melting on the top and the grips had just begun to fall apart I decided it was as good as time as any to treat myself to one of Snappy's refurbs..

I have to say that I am very impressed with his work, its very very quality, and the match with the airbag is much better in person!

The only criticism I do have is that its a little thin, however the wheel is still brilliant!

Conor.
 
looks awesome, I think I shall pm him to see what he offers towards my wheel

edit; awaiting reply for price list and options so can let you know as soon as I know Rich :)

That's excellent - how much are these as mine is shagged? How hard to take the wheel off ?

Lovely! I see he's doing perforated leather now?

Yea, he offered it to me when we discussed what I wanted!

Its £185 but you get £45 back once he recieves your old wheel. Not hard at all mate, just disconnect the battery, unclip the airbag and undo a torx screw!

So you get an entirely new wheel, not just a refurbed version of your old one? Nice wheel btw!

He does them almost ready to go, personalises it and send it to you. Your old one then gets refurbished, ready for next customer once personalised.

I see, thanks for clearing that up! What kind of things can be personalised, just colour of stitching/types of leather?

Top job! Same combo as mine.
I actually prefer it thinner, I have small hands though.
I was lucky mine was done by the previous owner, but I would say its well worth the cash.

Does the wheel actually come thinner then? Less thick leather or something similar?

Really interested in purchasing one of these forgive me if im being stupid but it's £70 right? And what if your wheel has a chunk of the rubber/plastic taken out? Ours has about a 1inch wide chunk taken out on the outer steering wheel!

No it's £185 including postage but you will get £45 back when you send off your old wheel when your new one arrives.
He is very busy I'm currently on his list to do.

The wheels are great but I reckon they could use some sort of padding. I don't know exactly want he does - but mine seems much harder than the Renault melty standard thing.

Still looks great though.
