Steering wheel retrim, quick turnaround.

For Herman Yellow, looking to get sports design 991 PDK steering wheel retrimmed (with added girth) yellow stitch and 12 o clock band.

Only thing is need a guaranteed quick turnaround by end of November latest and of course a top job! Any ideas?
 
Jack at Royals I assume.

MC
 
He did mine in 2 weeks - 10 working day turn around
 
Thanks chaps, will check on turnaround times :thumb:

New leather with yellow stitching yellow band

OR

New Alcantara with yellow stitching yellow band

:dont know:
 
Alcantara is nice for the first while but when it starts to wear its ugly. Leather stays 'fresh' for much longer and ages more gracefully. Given your re-sale history, I'd suggest leather.. :)

:eek: yes leather it is then :eek:
 
:hand: I would say there is not much in the wear or even alcantara wears better. Alcantara is easy to clean up to new whereas once leather wears it wears. Plus on a hobby car Alcantara just feels more special :wink:

However given the amount Sponge uses his cars I doubt the bubble wrap will come off :wack:

To be fair the mileage will probably never start with a 3 :grin:. I'm airing towards leather I think, smart with yellow stitching a the old yellow ring.

It's strange normally when I buy a new motor (which is alot) I look around at others and think cr@p I should of bought that one instead! Not the case with Herman Yellow, can't find anything I'd rather have! WTF!!

Plus now I've told mrs Sponge it seems real :eek:
 
That's odd. I'm in no way affiliated to jack but coincidentally I emailed him about a retrim earlier this week and his comms and rate were great (just like when I used him for my m3 two years ago). Not sure what's gone on - but be sure the email isn't in your junk folder

As above, tried and tested solution on many car forums :thumb:

Binned him off after his appalling lack of communication.

I'll be using this guy for my gear knob.

I am with Jonitt on Alcantara , when you clean it it comes up like new, feels great with a better grip than leather . at minimum if you can't bring yourself to go with Alcantara at least consider the 12 o'clock in yellow Alcantara. :thumb: :thumb:

Alcantara = mole skin, Euughh!!
 
Spongebob I had mine done at royal and very pleased.

Have you picked up your car or are you having it done before you pick her up?

I only ask as I'm near to redline and have an account with a parcel carrier so could send it for you :thumb: just like to give a bit back to the forum :thumbs:
