So I had a spare steering wheel trim that was a bit beat up, so thought I'd give it a bit of DIY treatment ... Genuine Alcantara!!

Probably not to everyone's liking ... but meh .. :hahaha::birdman: I think it looks good :supz:

I think it looks good. Don't like original finish there though.

Installed :thumbs: (I know the alcantara colour looks a little different between the steering wheel and the trim, but that's because the steering wheel is a different one to the one pictured above - this is my used 'driving' steering wheel, so it's a bit worn and beaten up)

I like that. However, those rubber mats have got to go!

Tom,

That looks fantastic!!! I have to agree with Andy.... aren't we all crazy about this material?! It will be great to wrap the dashboard in that as well... Great job :thumbs:
