Tony Daniel Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 Just back from Royal steering wheels at Stoke Mandeville. I have had the steering wheel recovered in fresh dark grey alcantara but with added red 12 o'clock stripe and red stitching to match the interior on my GTS. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTSMarky Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 Nice. Was this done with the wheel in situ? Apologies if that's a stupid question, but I like the look of this for my BGTS. Can they do the PDK lever too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robporsche Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 very nice, funnily enough mines off for the same thing, and PDK lever. cant wait, should be all fixed up for spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies if that's a stupid question, but I like the look of this for my BGTS. Can they do the PDK lever too? I had a wheel sorted at Royal a few years back. The options were to remove your wheel and send it in to them to be covered, or option 2 (which I plumped for) was to accept an identical style/colour exchange wheel which is covered to your design and then to go to Royal (or exchange by delivery) and have them swap the new (exchange) wheel with your original (which they will then use for the next exchange on that design/colour of wheel)... They can cover the PDK level as well I believe (which I suppose has to be undertaken in situ) 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Daniel Posted February 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 I originally went for an exchange wheel but this is for a 'bare' wheel. This is were Royal send a recovered wheel out and you swap over the chrome trim, wiring and paddles over. Jack (Royal) called me to advise that stripping the wheel can lead to broken parts so I allowed him to do the strip down, cost was an extra £20. @GTSMarky You can do this by post or turn up with the wheel on or off the car.

GTSMarky Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 Thanks, I'm not going to disassemble mine so will manage with leather.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringmaster999 Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) I opted for the replacement wheel and traveled up to Royal and let Jack swap it out. Took all of 30mins and job done. Great results and first class. IMHO. Edited February 16, 2022 by Ringmaster999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Ive had my former MX5 wheel retrimmed by Royal he added thumb grips, perforated leather, put a grey mid point stripe and grey contrast stitching it was lovely Edited February 16, 2022 by moonshine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowbos Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 Original wheel... (on my 987.1) After Jack sorted... grey half leather, half Alcantara with silver stitching, thicker and with thumb rests. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Some nice work on display. Could someone give an idea of how much having something like this done costs? Edited February 16, 2022 by spook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTSMarky Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 These pictures are not helping..... Think I'll give Jack a call and see what can be done as I do like the idea of Alcantara wheel & PDK Lever (with Red stripe of course). I won't swap my wheel or PDK lever, so that bit's easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
