Quick post to report back on the leather covered steering wheel upgrade I had fitted today. To cut a long story short, the chap is called Jack, at Royal Steering Wheels http://royalsteeringwheels.com/ and his service was beyond reproach. He sourced another stock plastic wheel for me and covered it in high quality Mercedes-spec leather (perforated on the edges) such that I could just pitch up today and he swapped the two around. All fitted in about 30 mins and he knew how to push the release bars in to lift out the airbag module.
It's slightly fatter with is great and it feels so much different to the somewhat nasty plastic item. It feels just like the AMGs I get to drive and is even better than the mostly-leather version I'd have had if the previous owner had ticked the appropriate option box when ordering. It's really lifted the interior and enhanced the driving feel no end. VERY pleased.
£150 all up or thereabouts and very well worth the trip up to Aylesbury this morning. Recommended in every sense.
I think I will now get him to make me a matching gear gaiter made too, if I could work out how to remove the plastic version to send to him - anyone know by chance?
