Really nice! Is this easy to do? Getting ahead of myself havent even got my zed yet and thinking about neat upgrades like this!
 
aye, unhook the battery, press brake pedal, leave for 30mins
two holes on steering wheel trim to press to clips in, lift airbag, unclip cable, set it somewhere logo facing up, undo central nut.

Well Royal Steering Wheels have various options, if you live close they will swap the wheel for you. I don't, so I went for the mail option: Basically you pay up front plus a £50 deposit and they send you a re-trimmed wheel. You then swap it out yourself and post back your original wheel and they then return the deposit. There are links on here that show you how to swap out a wheel (do a search) but that assumes you are receiving a brand new wheel with inner plate and all the connectors. Royal Steering Wheels send you a completely stripped down wheel so you need to swap out the inner plate and the spoke trims too. I needed to buy a set of star keys to complete the job.

If you end up with a Zed and still want to swap the wheel yourself then contact me and I will go through it with you - it's not a difficult job but I could probably save you some time.

Can I ask whether you got single or double padding? Can't work out what to get as I don't want it really thick.

Double padding - I would definitely recommend double (It's still not as chunky as the M Sport Wheel even with double padding)
