Damm.

[Stevie Dubyah]

This scares me.

Gaffer makes it look so easy.

Bet he used to be a master leather worker.

But is just not saying.

I just know that if I try it I will fail.

But I really want to try

And I have a spare wheel.

But if I make a hash of it, I will just put the wheel in the back of the garage and quietly think about it and feel bad from time to time.

[gaffer1986]

Haha, if you need any help just let me know. I will probably do my other wheel also, I may try and sell it.

[Renny]

That is incredible. I really admire your skill and patience.

[Ormes]

Great work

[ayresyy]

  Looking very good that.

 

  I guess the question is, how much will you charge to do my wheel !?

Yeah this ^

[Gedi]

http://royalsteeringwheels.com are well priced

 

Think the guy is called Jack and he charges ~£100 on an exchange basis.

Not sure if that's available for a VX though.

Had mine done by Jak, £125, took about a week. i had Black alcantara with a red centre marker added. It wasn't exchanged over for a different wheel, it was definitely my one sent back to me. Great service and holding up very well so far!

 

Admire the patience Gaffer, epic work!!

[gaffer1986]

Really, I thought it was about £350. Probably should have done this lol

[p4cks]

You must have massive knackers

[gaffer1986]

I've tried googling it, what's a knacker?

[p4cks]

Sorry, probably doesn't Google very well as it's a Geordie euphemism for balls.

 

 

[gaffer1986]

Haha, no they are fairly average I'm afraid.

[gaffer1986]

Managed to find time for another section, same process as the top of the wheel. One section left now.

And a couple more photos as people seem to like my photos. They do speak more words than I care to type.
