I have just been given a Tec 2 steering wheel! :D

And it needs a bit of TLC, in the way of a re trim of the leather!

I have already spoken to B trim, and they wanted £150! :mad:
Does that sound normal, or does anyone else know of somewhere a little cheaper!!


Many Thanks
Adam

£150 is cheap. Mine was £250. It's a lot more difficult to trim a steering wheel than it looks, so you're better leaving it mate :(
