IIRC jai has had his covered over in india on a visit, could get him to do an errand for you when he's next over. quality leather stuff too
:yeahthat:
Jai's Uno Turbo steering wheel looks the business recovered in leather. Top quality job on it too, and he got it done at a very reasonable price (read dirt cheap!) if I recall correctly.
Maybe he should start a little sideline getting peoples steering wheels recovered in India? :chin: :idea:

I know it was a sensitive issue so I won't go into the details, but out of curiosity did you get those Strada Abarth seats in the end Mase?
I think any quality automotive retirmmer that does classis cars can do it, look around as theres always little companies darted about.

That was well out of order
You have my sympathy Mase, along with probably just about everyone else on FF. I'd better leave the subject alone as it is so sensitive, but suffice to say I doubt if we'll be welcoming a certain person to FF/ Ace Cafe meets for doing that to you...mase said:
I'm sure Jai got his done for something ridiculous like £10! If this place you found charges a lot, it might be an idea to get hold of Jai and see if he can give you the details of the place where he got his done. Only problem is as Luke mentioned, you'll have to send it to India!
Best of luck,

i am trying to set up my own business selling custom made steering wheel covers. i have ordered the hides (finest conolly leather), and the stitching. i have done a leather work course (few months ago). now i just need to sort out the website, and catalogue.
prices will be very good (£20 for a steering cover for a classic Mini, or a classic panda). FF discounts as well.
edit - forgot to say. to start with, i will only have black, grey, or dark blue.

cheers fella
wheneva i sell somethin on ebay and people try to get it before its ended i tell them to f*ck off..... but i guess not everyone plays by the rules, and the thing was, if the person had kept quiet about it then i wouldnt of been able to do jack, it was the boasting about still gettin them that really pissed me off, and refusal to back down even though they knew they were in the wrong.
anyways enough about that farce, im stayin on the look out, so u neva know....
im not goin to get the wheel re-trimmed unless it is less than £50, as ive seen a brand new one for that money that i fancy, so i might have to get in contact with him, sendin it away isnt a problem as it isnt on the car at the moment anyway

no mate its black
The seats do come up from time to time mate, look for Strada getting broke thos there was only ever 700 MK3's brought into the country, tho i think the MK2's have the same seats. So in the mean time its left to me to have the "proper" Abarth Recaros's it always should have had!mase said:nope. i didnt mate..... so my "build an abarth the way it should of been done in the first place" project stumbled at the first hurdle

For that Abarth look you need one of these genuine Abarth steering wheels http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8013143647&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MESO:IT&rd=1 may list it again soon as the winning French punk kept telling me he had troubles with his wife or something
