Be interested in the end result, got a spare I might retrim for when mine is (even more) knackered.

I did think about using the yellow nail varnish from my gimp cupboard as apposed to tape as i thought it might crack:blalalala:

Do you mind me asking what the cost and timescale is? I'll need to redo mine shortly, but don't have a spare!

That's top quality mate and a very reasonable price.

I imagine it must be a total cnut to do... I suppose those, like everything with the right tools and experience, it's probably a piece of piss to the pro's!

Looking good there :thumbs: Interesting though how they could do that in one full piece rather than 4 separate sections ala the OEM item - I actually prefer the one full piece look.

I don't need it doing in now - I cleaned the wheel with Raceglaze Alcantara cleaner and it's come up like new! Disgusting how much dirt came out - now lovely and soft again! This is when someone replies with a gay comment!

I started doing mine a couple of months ago but the wee pump packed in halfway through it. How much of the stuff did you use to clean the whole wheel? I wasn't using too much but was tempted to soak the thing. It's still not at it's best even now after a wee 'half clean'.

I gave the wheel a good soaking, left for a min or so then gently rubbed with a microfibre cloth - probably used around a 1/6 of the bottle and didn't get any bobbling. Did the handbrake and SMG knob as well.:thumbs:

May I suggest a red stripe on a BMW, I think it always looks better and fits in with the M colours.
