Looks good, I want to do the same to a spare wheel I have but the reputable person here in the US charges 400+ shipping so I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Ouch! the guy here does it on an exchange basis if he has one in stock, so he sends you one he's already done and then you send your old one back all for €120 including postage so that s about $150

That sure works better and quicker turn around time for seller and buyer.

Sure does, it's based on trust and you can't be several days with no steering wheel, I'm pretty sure it's illegal to drive

Looks good. It's not hard if you are patient. There are some odd angles requiring some contortion. It's a non-issue if you remove the steering wheel, . It's therapeutic. I've done two steering wheels now. Looking to do one another one later.

That looks really good! Down here there's tons of people doing these wrapping jobs and they all come out like garbage. I can't even begin to comprehend how a customer would be okay with paying 300 or so for a wheel that isn't tight all the way around and has loose spots and sagging. Your guy did a very nice job.

I can't imagine doing it with the wheel in place ! I guess its a trade off with removing the air bag etc

Yes very impressed with it, he did the one on my old E46 a few years back so had no problem using him again, thanks

Looks great!
Which reminds me to finish doing my Sport heated wheel and swap it. I just need to stitch it up now. The patient has been opened up for almost a year!
