Ordered a non leather one. For £19 it's worth a punt, if it is great, I will not need leather. If it is ok but the leather one will be better, it is about £30 then it is not bank breaking to order that as well!

Just 20 or so days delivery they say.

It will give me something to do during those long, dark evenings.

I'm going to be so gutted if these turn out to look as good as the refurb I've just shelled out £150 on. Ah well, at least if I don't like mine when it comes back I can cover over it with a Mewant Car Steering Wheel Wrap :lol:

Indeed... it will make for an interesting comparison!

If I disappear for a few days that will be me drowning my sorrows over all that misspent cash :cry:

I'd say so. I imagine it would be quite difficult otherwise! Not impossible if you're worried about airbag stuff!

YouTube has plenty of videos of how to do it in situ. Just a bit fiddlier than removing it.

My steering wheel does not have any plastics covering the spokes of the s/wheel, will this be a problem with the finish?

Artificial. Appears good quality with generous amounts of thread and double sided tape.

These look amazing. What's actually involved in fitting them?

I've received mine today. Ordered on the 28th so not bad for free delivery from China. My only concern at the moment is that it feels a bit plastic in my hands but that will probably change once it's on. I'll see how I go for a few weeks and upgrade if I'm not happy.
