[Stefan.]

Hows this looking mate?

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

Would look at home in yours mate!!

 

[Mr Plums]

I want one of these but I keep buying or needing other things 1st, I like the gear gaiter one too.

 

[Mr R.]

Would look at home in yours mate!!

Yes thank you mate.
I saw this a while ago and thought it was bang on for my car but i wasn't to sure on how it would look after a few miles.
Now that Jonathan has said that he's is ok after a few miles ill try and find a PH1 back seat. :wink:

Received my re-trimmed wheel from Snappy yesterday (Thursday), incredible turnaround and service, only posted it off to him on Monday afternoon! Quality is outstanding, cant wait to get it fitted over the weekend, such an improvement over the original. Was also kept updated with pics of the work being carried out which was a nice touch, cheers @snappy !

 

[Michel5]

really really nice steering wheel.

 

[Mr Plums]

I want that wheel

 

[JPJ89]

@MrTom it really is a thing of beauty mate, couldn't recommend it enough if you're thinking of going for one

 

[Mr Plums]

It does look brilliant mate.

 

[JackD]

Has anyone had a Sabelt cup racer wheel done by him?

 

[Bear Head]

I want that wheel

Good luck I should say though. I've contacted him through every way possible and he just doesn't respond XD

 

[Lee in Scunny...]

He did one for my megane a few weeks ago. 10 days door to door & the quality is fantastic.

[Mr Plums]

Are those "R,s" supposed to be like that?

The white R looks like it has a bit of stitching missing, and the red R looks like it has chicken pox?

 

[Mr R.]

Snappy sent me these yesterday, what a great guy and very very good at what he does.
I wanted my PH1 wheel made thicker so Snappy had to trim it twice.

The wheel i sent him.

Anyone had a Renaultsport Sabelt wheel retrimmed by Snappy yet?

Mine needs retrimmed badly... it's shiny and black!!

 

[Mr R.]

So today i got my PH1 wheel back from Snappy, very happy indeed.
Getting the wheel made thicker was a great idea and worth the extra cost, it makes it feel so much better imo.
@snappy big thank you mate, im over the moon.

Got my Snappy wheel today, great service and quality workmanship.

Done a quick guide on swapping over the cruise control buttons:

Step 1: Squeeze the 3 clips in to release the frame, move to the side and take out the springs

Step 2: Each button is held in place by 2xT20 screws

Bottom ones are easy enough but for the top you need to push the steering wheel in towards the middle to get access.

Note: make sure the metal tab is in place before screwing the screw marked in red (not sure what that's for)

Step 3: Slide the wires into the grooves

Step 4: Put the springs back in and clip the frame back on

I would like to know this also.

As everyone else has already said, his work looks impeccable.
Little bit gutted i dont have a red, blue, orange or yellow car to follow the colour theme with, what colour theme Snappy wheels have the silver boys been going with? Food for thought kind of thing.

PM'd Snappy today so hopefully he'll get round to me one day!

Silver stitch, dump the center line bit,

Hopefully this isn't akin to mentioning Man U on a Liverpool FC appreciation thread, but I've just got my wheel from Jack @ Royal Steering Wheels.

I've never been a lover of the Clio thumb grips so didn't want to retain them after a retrim hence why I decided to go with Jack rather than Snappy.
Oh, and @koi those instructions came in handy as my exchange wheel came with cc buttons so swapped them onto my old wheel that I'm returning.

 

[Mr Plums]

I might be swaying towards royal steering wheels!

 

[Stefan.]

Royal steering wheels always look crap imo

Just basically wallpapered over the s**t underneath. Skill in the work i just think snappy does it properly imo

 

[IceBergMan]

@incy-spider That looks perfect.

Each to their own, the world would be a boring place if we all liked the same things

 

[incy-spider]

@incy-spider That looks perfect.

It feels so nice as well! I got snappy to do 3 while he had some spare time, mine, chap at works trophy wheel, same as mine but with red stitch and he even did my mates Integra type R wheel...

 

[Jekyll]

Really like that ^

Snappy ones are very nice and look more oem. I guess its what you want from the wheel, I wanted a much thicker wheel finished in alcantara so had Jack from Royal do it. The feel of this wheel is lovely.

The above is mine but got the idea after trying gambits wheel in his trophy. the below wheel is gambits:
