Re: Steering Wheel Cover
I would second that. Bought mine from them and it's a great fit. If you have a little bit of OCD make sure the join is a the bottom of the steering wheel or it will really irritate you ! Not that I speak from experience of course:D

Re: Steering Wheel Cover
Just buy an offcut of leather - very easy to make, the hardest part being punching the holes for lacing it up. Not something that you need to buy.

Re: Steering Wheel Cover
Just googled Mr steering, they dont seem to have a direct fit, what vehicle did you choose in the drop down to fit a standard wheel

You can choose leather and stitching colour from there.

Re: Steering Wheel Cover
Got mine from Mr Steering and had to send back as it was made for a thicker rim (mine is the basic van wheel). sent them diameter and circumfrance of the grip and they returned the right size made up over night. Might be worth checking with them first. Very good service and easy to follow video on you tube.R0B wrote:Message them.Send them your wheel dimensions and they will make you one to fit.

Re: Steering Wheel Cover
I bought one from them for the original wheel, really pleased, swapped to an early T4 wheel and the cover they sent was too small. Absolutely no bother . Rang them, they asked me to measure it and sent an replacement out within two days.
