Thankyou, though credit where credit is due to Sparky as it is fantastic. An improvement both in looks & feel on the MOMO trimmed wheel our Premier Edition EP3 had.

The only pic I have on my phone of the Clio wheel.

I sent mine and Rob G's old wheels back to him and received the cheque back quick as you like. Great service from start to finish.

Loving the dials and the yellow mate. Hard work?

Steering wheels look great guys. I can see the appeal.

Thanks. Dial surrounds covered in real carbon with the alloy rings to provide contrast.

I cut the tacho dial off the original dials as all one piece and used as template to cut out the yellow tacho from a Lockwood set I bought. The black centre in it I cut with our own vinyl cutter but removed it as I wasn't 100% happy with it not having same matte finish as the other black bits.

I have a set of phase 1 grey dials which I'm toying in using the tacho from that, as its only Clio 1*2 dials with "RenaultSport" on them, but everyone seems to like the yellow even though it says Lockwood on them.

I think Clio 197's & Megane RS 250's have a yellow tacho's, but Clio 200's have grey/silver tacho.

Just to add to all the other comments really. Had a borked wheel i bought off ebay sent straight to Andy/Snappy. He called me when it arrived to check it was the right one and that he had the colour scheme right. Some text messages with pics of the work in progress over the next few days and then a message when the wheel was sent.

I picked it up from the post office this evening. Even more epic than I was expecting. Feels much nicer than the std wheel and the stitching is perfect, all the spacing is the same, everything about it is mint. Well worth the price and then some. If you've got dodgy thumb grips or melty wheel what other choice is there! (unless you want to do away with the bus sized wheel and go for a smaller wheel i guess).

Cheers Andy really can't praise the service or the product enough.

Stunning work mate. I'd like to see it with the airbag fitted. Note sure how different it would look.

Stunning workmanship mate.

Will chuck some fitted pics up tomorrow if I get it in the car. From memory Jesus had exactly the same and the leather was a close match for the airbag.
 
has snappy changed his number or something, cant seem to get a reply from him, sent my wheel about a month and havent heard anything back of him, got a photo of the wheel stripped down but nothing since!!

He replied to my text a few days ago within an hour. Surprised you've not had a response.

Had mine fitted today by Fred at BTM Perfomance.

Well chuffed with it, superb qualifty and feels so much nicer than the standard one.

When he's done is the wheel slightly thicker than standard? I've always felt the regular wheel is too thin.
