Pretty much as the title reads.

There's a few on Ebay for around £100 but they look a little worn, thought I'd put a post here in case someone has a good one for sale around here.
 
Hard to find now as a lot of us are doing the paddle shift conversion😀
However I find the wheel too thin on the rim, so getting recover and rim dia increase by Jack of Royal wheels. The retrimmed wheels I have seen completed by them have been superb. At a cost of about £140 I would personally go that route unless you want to keep concourse standard
Good luck in search I got one for £130 delivered from breaker, was in super condition so they are about
 
That is the route that I went down too - just be patient on eBay - I picked up one in an 'unloved' colour and got it retrimmed in alcantara at Royal - kept the original wheel in case the new owner (as and when I move the car on) wants to go back to original look

I'd be maybe asking for a swap rather than a sale. If you play your cards right and educate the swapper on the benefits of having a tip wheel with the switches on in a manual, rather than buying offering to buy theirs you may get more luck.

With those switches and a couple of simplewiring mods you can use them to:

1. Actuate the rear spoiler (up or down).
2. Open & close the convertible roof.
3. Switch on or off your or your passengers heated seats.
4. Open & close your Targa roof panel.
5. Open both frunk and rear bonnet.
6. Answer your hands-free telephone.

The list goes on.


All without taking your hands off the wheel........if only you could change gear with them too :grin:

Thanks for the replies guys, I'll certainly consider that! I do quite like the feel of the leather so I'll hold out for now, but they do certainly look nice.

Typically, missed a really condition one for £80 whilst working!
 
Sunday bump, fingers crossed for some breakers this week
