It might be a bit of a drive for you, was for me also but it was worthwhile - Paintituk in Billericay, Essex, they've done a fantastic job twice now on two sets of F1's. I'm really picky and haven’t been able to find any faults in either set. Was £225 Inc the centre caps being sprayed as they can’t be powder-coated.

I keep looking for someone to retrim my steering wheel, but most auto trimmers don't touch steering wheels, I found a place in north London and he quoted me £150

Yes its terrible in every way, i mean can be alright if you re not picky at all!
They had to redo it twice, first time they got the order wrong and then I got this thing,
Turn around time of 2 weeks as they take orders here to send in Poland

 

[Matt e]

I also found a place in Peterborough, although I never got a quote

this one looks OK too

 

[Matt e]

Yeah £150 was also leather

 

[Italian_Job]

yes my fault, actually they never got back to me

ive mistaken it for http://www.autotrimming.co.uk/

 

[Italian_Job]

150 seems to be a reasonable price
still the Steering wheels pic gallery isnt very exciting......Itd be great to get some feedback about them

Whoops, well the recommendation is there if you need your wheels refurbished!!

getting mine done by Autocrash

 

[Allan-]

I actually had mine done by Mikey recently, he is still about if you PM him
Pic of my wheel below, asked him to keep it as oem as possible

The previous problems had by people were with wheels going missing in the post, so as long you send it via the correct postage with insurance this shouldn't be a problem

 

[DanEdser]

i'd try and get hold of arran_182 as by the looks of things, his refurbs are by far the best!

 

[Italian_Job]

hi guys been reading your threads about getting wheels retrimmed , think i can help you guys out in a big way ,im the person who trimmed them for arren and then he sold them on so if you still want wheels doing just give me a shout. ive been doing wheel for years. your looking at £120 all leather (smooth) not the rough s**t ive seen trimmed on here.

I've got one of the wheels you did, been on the car for a year or so and is still like new, craftsmanship is second to none IMO

 

[Joe#]

Any pictures of your work Snappy?

 

[snappy]

sorry mate no pictures, but there are pics on here of my work, you could ask the person with the last thread to see if he got any pics of his wheel.

 

[snappy]

just noticed you live at chester, im in crewe, so not far wouldnt need to post, i work at a car factory in crewe and done wheels for them for years .

 

[Detail Chris]

Snappy just the man! Got a sabelt wheel, probably the easiest type for you. How much for a retrim in all black suede/alcantara (which is what they are standard)?

im debating having it done in leather, but don't want that extra padded feel/look to it like some retrim a seen to have! There was a sabelt wheel that was done in leather and it looked all puffy and rubbish! How much for just all black leather?

cheers

That sounds good to me. I won't be having mine done for a few months though mate, I'll be on touch.

 

[Italian_Job]

Snappy youve been doing wheels for years and havent got any pics at all........c'mon!

 

[snappy]

No mate Bentley dont like you taking a camera into work. Been their for 32yrs ,

 

[snappy]

Ask Dr Dave what my steering wheels are like and how good , then get back to me :race:

 

[snappy]

Hi Chris can do it in all black smooth leather with a 12oclock any colour and stitched in what colour you require £120 plus postage :race:

 

[shaprs]

hey snappy,

been looking at this for a while now, would love an omp wheel but cant be doing with the potential hassle of the cruise control on the wheel. :S would i have to take my steering wheel off and send you it, or can you send me a done one, and i send mine back to you?

 

[snappy]

Yes, sorry mate you would have to send me your wheel, once bitten twice shy as the saying goes mate , can turn the wheel around in a couple of days of recieving it .

 

[Gravy]

Snappy how do you tackle the thumb grips? Is it ok if they've deteriorated a little?

Very interested.
