Steering Wheels (Snappy Ones)



I've had my steering wheel re-trimmed.
Needless to say I am extremely happy with the results.
I asked for the following:-
Black leather
Perforated leather thumb grips
Alcatara bottom section with the Trophy logo embroidered onto it.
held together with silver stitching.

Here are the photos :

No more sticky melted steering wheel for me, just smooth soft leather!
That's a cracker mate, the trophy logo is a great touch!

Thanks, I am not a fan of the top dead centre marker, or anything too far from the original, but I liked the look of the Trophy logo on others so I thought it would be a nice touch. There are no identifiers in the cabin to let you know you are in a Trophy, so I thought I would add one.

Have you got one of these wheels yourself?

If i ever had a Mk2 again this would be the first mod 100%

Regards the wear, ive had one on my 197 for over three years, looks as good as the day i picked it up

Why the fcuk anyone wouldn't want to use Snappy is beyond me.

Royals thumb grips would pi$$ me off.

From what I've seen his it's his stitching that's worlds apart. Perfect all along, while other wheels I've seen redone (not only here) come nowhere close. Think I might be sending him three wheels...

My wheel arrived from Snappy this morning. I have to say I'm well chuffed with the results! I didn't go for the top band as it wasn't my cup of tea:

Just need to find the time to fit it now!

That looks great mate - exactly what I'll be going for when I send my wheel off to Snappy. They do look much better without the centre band.

Received my second Snappy wheel back today. Perfect as expected, very happy! Top guy to deal with. Postie also delivered a cup spoiler which I paid just £41.00 for (£55 with postage) It's in great condition so well happy at that price! Bargain!!

I've had my snappy wheel fitted on my car for just over a year and it still looks as good as they day it got delivered. Perforated leather thumb grips and bottom section with silver stitching. Very pleased with it and would defiantly recommend getting it done.

The guys work is flipping awesome. No question about it. The proof is in the pics above/in this thread.

Im sending my Sabelt off to him in a few weeks. Im having black perforated leather all round and a blue alcantara top strip. Looking forward to it!

Suede bottom section looks great. The trophy wheel above is perfect (for a trophy of course)
