so my steering wheel is pretty worn and i want to fit a black leather one, are they all the same will a 2012 wheel be the same as 05/06, if i strip off annd fit my own centre switches and airbag

Changing my steering wheel was my first mod - easy to do - I followed a video from Powerful Uk - hardest part was removing the air bag - I replaced mine with a soft Nappa leather 2009 genuine LR wheel - I had to change the cowling but the rest was a straight swap. I have always liked the look of the new switch packs on the 10MY steering wheels but its never been confirmed that they are compatable with the older models. Only problem was the older air bag is textured where as the steering wheel is smooth - a minor hitch but its never really bothered me. It felt like driving a different motor after I'd finished.
Highly recommended mod  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

i think i will just get a new nappa leather one thats actually to fit my year, i know how they feel soo much better as my m3 had the m sport nappa leather wheel with tripple m coloured stiching and we also had a 318 coupe with a normal one and what a difference!

If you use the search button on the top menu & type in 'Steering wheel' you will find a few more answers it does make interesting reading - may even have a go myself !!!  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

Just ordered a steering wheel from Royal Steering Wheels with Nappa top & bottom and perforated sides for £105 + £9 postage.

Due to recieve it on Tuesday, so will post some pics when it arrives.


Check out his website:

2007 RRS TDV6 HSE - Zermatt Silver - Gone

have you a contact number? is that exchange or just the wheel, i fancy all black nappa leather with dark blue stitching if possible

Exchange. Since he lives down south, so exchange was the only option for me. Had to pay additional £50 deposit which will be refunded once i have returned the old wheel to him.

Jack will definitely be able to do an all Nappa with blue stitching. I just kept mine simple with Black Nappa top /bottom, perforated sides & Black stitching.

You can find Jack's contact details on his website including address

I know many who have used him and is highly recommended and is very nice to deal with. He can be a bit slow to answer his emails since he is very busy, but he will get back to you at some point or you could try phoning him. 2014 L405 SDV8 RR Autobiography

thanks i will try and ring him today as im going to fully go over the rest of my car and clean it, my leather is imaculate but my steering wheel lets the interior down, i like my cars slightly modded, but ultra clean like new even at 7 years old when i seem to get them, i like the one in the 2nd link but with navy stitching to match the buckingham blue. cheers for that info!

just fitted my wheel off royal steering wheels today, looks the mutts nuts

Nice one. What style did you go for? Post some pics

havent got any pics yet, i went for soft nappa leather right round because my m3 was like that and i liked it, will get some pics

Been to jacks today and he's fitted mine. Amazing difference. Can't recommend royal steering wheels highly enough.

What did he charge for a refurbed wheel fitted ?
