fizz Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 I follow @thecarogropher on instagram who has a really lovely 986 that he is putting up for sale when i noticed his lovely steering wheel. Having asked where he got that done, he pointed me in the direction of Royal Steering Wheels | Exclusive look, unique feeling where he got his done from. Looked through the gallery and can't decide which of these i like more. What would you choose? I've requested a quote for both and will post on here the costs for anyone interested. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1flyguy Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 I would say full…. But having looked at the photos….. they both look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Loon Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Full, part just looks weird to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickH Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Id say full as the only benifit to going part leather would be to stop the Alcantara wearing and looking shiney. But on the example the Alcantara is where you would be holding the wheel anyway. As a side note the carographer is a great guy. I bought my wheels from him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha! So, they retrim the existing steering wheel but don't know if they take the existing leather lining off or go over it. I do hear what you're saying about it looking girthy though. 17 hours ago, r1flyguy said: they both look good 17 hours ago, MickH said: Id say full as the only benifit to going part leather would be to stop the Alcantara wearing and looking shiney.

I bought my wheels from him Yeah seems like a nice chap and with regards to the part Alcantara... it's one of the downsides I've considered but always liked the look and wanted a Alcantara wheel in past cars and never tried it.

fizz Posted November 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 Got a reply back and thought I'd share for those who might be interested in doing the same. ----------- Hi Faisal, Thank you for the enquiry with the photos and I'm sorry for the slow reply as we were off last week. Hope that's still OK. Just to confirm we can re-trim this wheel and our Exchange Option is available. (First, we send a new re-trimmed wheel by post. All your existing plastic trims, buttons, airbag, etc. are transferred to the new wheel so they stay/work the same, you then return your old bare wheel back to us) It’d be: 1. Boxster S 2003 Manual ( 3-spoke, Black) - Black Alcantara 9040 on sides, Smooth top/bottom + Red center stripe, Red stitching - EXCHANGE OR 2. Boxster S 2003 Manual ( 3-spoke, Black) - Full Black Alcantara 9040 + Red center stripe, Red stitching - EXCHANGE The price would be: £180 (1 or 2) Incl. VAT + £9.99 Postage (Parcelforce next day recorded) + £250 deposit * *-Deposit is required only as business protection and it will be fully refunded straight after receiving your same type of steering wheel. This wheel would be ready within 1 and 2 weeks and we will send you the tracking number so you will know when to expect delivery. Would you be interested and what option would be best? Could you please let us know which style you would like and provide your delivery address and PayPal email address so we could send you the invoice? (If no PayPal account, we can provide an invoice link allowing direct card payment. Look forward to hearing from you.

Loc986 Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) That seems a reasonable price. I wasn’t really considering it but now might change mine now. Definitely the full alcantara wheel option but without the red marker for me. Edited November 3, 2022 by Loc986 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinewood Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 Out of interest and not judging anyone's decision or taste here .... Why Alcantara over leather? Wouldn't a leather re-trim be more in keeping with the cars interior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 You really have to look after alcantara to keep it looking good. Had a few alcantara wheels over the years and don’t miss them. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryg Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 I think the air bag/horn push looks more odd withe full alcantara than with the half and the red marker is a no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
