Steering Wheels (Snappy Ones)

[mac76]

What did that set you back? fancy something like that for mine in blue

I think it was £155 from memory

 

[Danith]

Ok looks like I'm gonna go with snappy after Jesus' birthday.

Would be grateful if people could share pics of their 197/200 wheels to help me decide?

Here's my ph1 wheel I had done , the difference between the airbag and wheel isn't so noticeable In person.

You've got to give it to him, his work is incredible.

If only he could reduce the size of the wheel by a factor of 10^8

 

[Jekyll]

He can do after market wheels also @dann2707

Im getting a few sample pieces of blue alcantara sent to me from him this week. Once ive chosen the one i want, my Sabelt is off to him

A few more Snappy bits for me - a real craftsman! Christmas present from my OH.

 

[182_steve]

That PH1 wheel looks sooo smart, first one I've seen myself usually phase 2's including my own

 

[Matt Scarbro]

Polite nudge Snappy, in case you are following this thread, you have a PM. :up:

I follow your threads on PH and saw this earlier, when I read your post I knew it was Snappy that had done it. Excellent work, and a seriously awesome project on the Ferrari.

 

[Borstii]

Link to the ferrari project thing?

Cheers! I have a few more bits to come from Snappy. Can't wait.

search for Snappy (he has a profile on here), once you've found him, click on his name and you will see his "wall" with lots of messages etc.. look carefully and you will see his mobile contact number amongst the posts

 

[Goodtime]

Thanks a lot !

Here's mine. I had this done back in August but I've only recently taken pics as I sold the car last week.
Silver stitching, perforated sides and bottom. The leather Snappy uses is top notch and the workmanship is flawless.
I'll be contacting him again to do the wheel in my new R26 Megane.

Was a little while ago but did you get this done in the end?
Really want my Sabelt retrimmed, I know when I asked him before he couldn't get the right materials for the blue bit. How does it look if so?

 

[Jekyll]

Well I've been in speaks with him today as I was sent some blue alcantara samples. I got to admit, I wanted them lighter but im not sure if it's possible as I think the blue alcantara is limited, as mentioned to you.

These are what I got sent.

Ideally I'd like it brighter, just like the original is when it's new but if this cannot be done then I will settle for the lighter one as im sure it'll look good against the black perforated leather.

@LukeSi

 

[LukeSi]

@Dr Jekyll Keep me posted on how you get on, I'm really interested in seeing the finished result. You going leather and then just the top alcantara then?

 

[Jekyll]

Yes I will buddy. Once I hear back from snappy it's being sent. He did say that he's got a lot on mind, which is to be expected considering he's workmanship.

I'm going black perforated leather all round and a blue alcantara top :up:

 

[182_steve]

@Dr Jekyll that lighter blue one looks pretty good? Might just be the brightness on my laptop, is it quite different to whats originally on the wheel?

 

[Jekyll]

This is the colour im after ideally.

 

[182_steve]

Ahh I see fair play mate I can see that's brighter now :up:

 

[Supernova]

Just got my clio 182 gearknob and gaitor back today from snappy.Pleased again with the results.

 

[182_steve]

That looks really good!!

 

[BGEarles]

Wait, Snappy does gear knobs and gaitors? [emoji102]

^^ exactly what I was just thinking 😂

 

[Supernova]

Yeah he sure does.Believe he had a bit of trouble doing the gearknob with it still on the gearshaft but its turned out well.The leather and blue stitching now matches my snappy steering wheel

 

[Danith]

Just got an update from him for mine. Silver stitching and done!!

 

[Jekyll]

Nice @Danith

When did you put the order in?

 

[Danith]

Nice @Danith

When did you put the order in?

Sent the wheel off about a month ago. He's just this second finished so going to collect saturday

 

[Jekyll]

Does look fantastic tbh mate.

Bet you can't wait to get it fitted!

 

[Danith]

Yeah probably sunday, cant wait ha.

Get this tatty 197 wheel off

 

[Danith]

Better pics. Gonna go and get it fitted in a bit, just wish the b*****d rain would sod off
Snappy has changed my opinions on LCR's too! Really didnt like them but his red one has changed my mind. No wonder it takes a month to do too, I went into his workshop he does bloody loads of stuff!! Top man.

 

[mossyv6]

That is flipping awesome!!!
@Danith

 

[Jekyll]

Yep!

 

[B-shaw557]

Had this done almost 2 years ago now, didnt know this thread existed

 

[Christopher]

Loving these. I was thinking of a Royal trim for mine but seeing these and hearing the praise for Snappy, I'm sold!

 

[Jekyll]

Snappy > Royal anyday!

 

[Amos91]

With the Mk2 Clio wheels its Snappy all day long. Royal seem to just cover up the thumb grips whereas Snappy incorporates them with leather etc. Looks x100 better.
