Steering Wheels (Snappy Ones)

[chrizz]

Fitted mine yesterday, very happy with it. Couldn't recommend Snappy enough

 

[Mr Plums]

I will be giving snappy a pm in the next few weeks

I love these wheels.

 

[ashworth.dave]

Has anyone had a Snappy wheel without the strip in the 12 O'Clock position?

 

[-chris-]

snappy you have pm

 

[Tromance]

Hello chaps. I too am interested in Snappy's services - if I've understood this thread correctly, it's easiest to send him a wheel, rather than ask him to source one, correct?

Assuming that's the case, if anyone's selling a 172 Cup wheel, please let me know! Thanks.

 

[snappy]

Hi mate,
Glad you like your wheel , looks really good better than the melted one lol

This looks awesome

 

[Junior Bear]

How long is the process? Sending it away - receiving it back

 

[cat171]

The wheels really do look excellent, but I've no idea why so many people go for the coloured band at top of the wheel, they look rubbish. I'd get it on a rally car, but not on a 172 etc.

 

[Gibbo4k]

Just had mine done by him and was an excellent service .
Under a week turn around rang to say when he recieved it then again when it was done. The next day actually.
Highly recomended.
Jay

[MiseryStreak]

I PM'd Snappy last week about retrimming my 172 Cup wheel, I haven't received a reply yet but he must be extremely busy? Can someone PM me his contact number please?

 

[Patrick Bateman]

I've just bought a Trophy and pretty sure the seller said snappy had done the wheel on it, top work I have to say!

 

[MiseryStreak]

Just got mine back, I'm in love with it. Got to get another one done now to drive my car as I just want to look at it (and hold it) all day.

Andy (snappy) is a great guy and a pleasure to do business with.
Now I just need to take my wheel off without setting off the airbag...

No mention of the cost? ball park pleases? £££

 

[Chi]

About 150 I think

 

[MiseryStreak]

No mention of the cost? ball park pleases? £££

I didn't want to send off my wheel so it cost me £215.00 in total. This was £150 for the retrim, £20 P&P and £45 surcharge for the wheel which I'm getting back as I'm sending him my old one.
The normal cost is £120 for the retrim but I paid £30 extra - £20 for the embroidered logo and £10 for the Alcantara section. This is not because it's more expensive, it's just plastic fake suede, it's because it has to be stitched twice, once with 0.9mm leather then again with the alcantara as it's too fragile on its own.

It's easy. Twist the steering wheel 90 degrees and unclip the clip at back of wheel, then turn opposite way and do the same on the other side. This removes the airbag. Once that's loose unclip the 2 plugs inside the airbag and its then released. Take a T50 (I think) torx and undo. All complete.

Some say to disconnect the battery for 20mins before hand but I never bother. If you do, remember your stereo code!

The above is on a ph2. If it's a ph1 then the clips on the back are with T30 (I think) torx and the centre of wheel is a socket. 24mm I think. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Rob]

Snappy is a one man Clio wheel revelation.

Nevermind messing about with thumb grips etc, just get one of these.

I wonder if you buy a smaller wheel (like a shabby old OMP) he could trim it up all epic?

 

[Jekyll]

I hope so Rob. I want my sabelt wheel done by him in perforated leather with blue alcantara top.

 

[George182]

I am sending my sabelt off to snappy for a retrim [emoji106]

Will look AWESOME.

I've had mine on for a year/10k now and it still looks 100% perfect. His workmanship really is top notch:yum:.

 

[Mostro]

Snappy, you have PM. New business incoming.

agreed, had mine for pretty much spot on a year and just under 9k and its still lovely. the leather is just starting to wear in where I use it most, which means my OCD is now trying to even it out over the rest of the wheel! lmao

literally the best 140 quid I spent on the car that wasn't maintenance

Plastic fake suede lol, thats alacantara

 

[StingyCH]

Here's mine, thanks Snappy :grin: also ordered the carbon trim with yellow Renault Sport logo

Guys, all these steering wheels look phenomenal. I do have one question - when re-trimming steering wheels, are rubber inserts gone and are replaced by leather, or are they just filled somehow and are covered with learher ?

 

[Jekyll]

The above wheel looks fantastic. The workmanship in these wheels is amazing.

I'd say from looking at my wheel that Sanppy removes all the soft rubber covering leaving the harder plastic shell which is covered in some kind of padding and the leather is applied over that.

 

[dann2707]

Wheels look amazing! If only there was a way to make the standard diameter of the thing less bus like!

 

[gwyn rallye]

Another thumbs up for Snappy. A gent to deal with, excellent comms and service.

Just fitted my wheel and gaiter today, have made such a difference to the interior....

[VR46-G@Z]

I have just received my wheel I bought off @cwt and all I can say is WOW! Snappy I salute you, your work is absolutely 1st class!!! These pictures don't do your work justice, I'm over the moon with it and can't wait to ditch my rubbery sticky mess of a wheel... :smile::up:

 

[Stefan.]

I'm getting mine done start of next year!

One of the best things i did to my previous 182

 

[Emily.]

Fitted my new wheel today, it looks amazing! It only took a few days from me ordering it to it being posted.

 

[memel]

very very very awsome work
Snappy? you have got a PM

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Unbelievable quality of workmanship, without doubt the best money I've spent on my 182!! :smile::up:

 

[Mr R.]

Yes I did, I reclaimed the material from a rear seat back so that it matched perfectly. I put some pictures in my project thread

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...time-round&p=10054219&viewfull=1#post10054219

but don't think I put pics in this thread before

Hows this looking mate?

I want my PH1 wheel done but i don't know what to for.

Still really pleased with it one year on. Not a lot of miles, but regular use and still looks like the day it was fitted, feels nice, would recommend.
