Refurbishing steering wheel
Hi there, the leather cover on my 50th Anniversary steering wheel has seen better days, any recommendations as to who could refurb it?
Thanks!

I can certainly vouch for FCX's refurbishing skills.

My wheel was getting particularly gross and the stitching had started to wear through after 23 years of usage so popped over to FCX and Matt sorted me out with a fully re-leatherd with blue stitching to match my exterior.

Nearly a 7months on and its still wearing fine with no sign of any issues. Top job Thumbs Up

Likewise - had my steering wheel leather wrapped by Rich the Stitch of FCX fame and he did a top job as always. Highly recommended. 2005 Td5 | 90 Station Wagon | Tonga Green

Out of interest has anyone had a puma wheel re-wrapped in suede? Probably a question for FCX? Tom

No, we've not done one (but we'd like to Thumbs Up )

We've replaced the 'suede' (Alcantara) on a Momo Nero with leather

Can't understand why anyone would have a suede or alcantara steering wheel. With normal sweat & grime etc from hands, the material very soon loses its "new" look & becomes "flattened out" / "matted" etc.
