Jack @ Royal Steering Wheels

dakhu1 · 08-11-2014, 08:48 AM

Just a heads-up...recently had the steering wheel retrimmed on our 1 series by Jack - great guy and great work - very happy with the result and service!!

Went for alcantara top/bottom with the perforated sides and M Sport stitching - highly recommend him (no personal interest in his business, just my thumbs up based on service and product quality)!

Think he's got pics on his website: www.RoyalSteeringWheels.com

Banners24b · 08-11-2014, 08:50 AM

Are you happy to say how much it cost?

P 5UML · 08-11-2014, 08:51 AM

try and upload pics to the forum mate - be great to see the results and once fitted back to the car too!

Josh1a1h · 08-11-2014, 09:59 AM

My steering wheel and gaitors are with him right now! Can't wait to get mine bck!

You are in for a treat!!

Re Alacantara vs. leather - he mentioned the former needs more care i.e. no dirty/greasy hands etc

You can pretty much choose what you like i.e. any colour stitching / material etc - believe its all made to order

Banners24b · 08-11-2014, 10:31 AM

£135 - I was expecting it to be a lot more!

Will wait your pics as this is something I keep meaning to do on mine!

JJ0063 · 08-11-2014, 11:32 AM

I love it.

Do you know if they offer a service to convert them to a flat bottom style?

Thanks

Jordan

Josh1a1h · 08-11-2014, 12:26 PM

No he doesnt do flat bottom.

That essentially means sanding off the bottom of the existing wheel. Its not a great method, therefore doesnt offer it.

Some people in europe do it, but i wouldnt trust it.

Just buy a performance steering wheel (non electric) and have it retrimmed to your specs imo.

Jacks a busy guy!!!! I was hoping to get mine done before GAYDON.. but he said it would be a push... so instead he will have it ready at Gaydon and install it then

HAPPY DAYS!

Jack did the wheel in my old e46, top bloke and top quality work! Made you feel like you were sat behind the wheel of a new car. He will be doing the one in my e90 when I get round to it

Josh1a1h · 08-11-2014, 02:43 PM

Im excited to get mine back

I opted for full black nappa leather all the way around
Light Silver stitching and matching silver centre stripe.
Simple but in keeping with my new interior

Theivz · 08-12-2014, 06:16 PM

Totally agree with you. Jack did my car too. Wheel, handbrake and gear gaiters. Oyster nappa leather with custom stitching. Excellent service and even better quality of work

dakhu1 · 08-13-2014, 02:37 AM

Here's a picture - not the greatest I know but you get the idea

hobo mofo · 08-13-2014, 03:12 AM

Now that is nice!

Josh1a1h · 08-13-2014, 03:35 AM

ALL LOOKS SO GOOD! Cant wait for mine now!!!

achu · 08-13-2014, 04:00 AM

oh wow these look so good... i guess this is another mod to add to the list :|

Marshall878 · 08-13-2014, 04:01 AM

Oh my!!!

Banners24b · 08-13-2014, 04:09 AM

All looks so good.

How does it work? you remove your own wheel and send it to him? or you drive down and leave your car there for as long as its takes?

I guess either way you can't use your car until its done.
