R34 Steering Wheel

[Guest]

Hi,

Currently my steering wheel has lost its colour at the top, and am interested in getting it replaced with a new one, i would like to know:

- How much do they cost?, and

- Whereabouts may i be able to purchase one?

My car is 1999 R34 GT-T (Tiptronic)

Another alternative, would be purchasing an aftermarket steering wheel, but as the 34 is airbagged, im not 100% sure what i can and cant do...i've looked on the forums, and a few people have changed there's over with an aftermarket wheel, am i able to?

Thanks,

Jacob

aftermarket steering wheels are illegal and don't have an airbag. Just goto wreckers and get one ..plenty of smashed 34's around.

is it the leather is worn? if so get it re wrapped.

I just cheat.

Go to the shoe care section of the supermarket.

- Buy black "scuff remover" and some black shoe polish (I recommend the kiwi branded stuff)

- Apply the scuff remover on the "worn bits" - let it soak in.

- Keep re-applying scuff remover until the "worn bits" are black.

- Wait 1/2 hour

- Now apply a light coat of shoe polish on the blackend "worn bits" and the surrounding leather. This is more to help seal the worn leather.

- Brush with a shoe brush - It should now be hard to see.

It lasts a long time for me - roughly 6 months if done properly - the trick is to ensure the scuff remover really soaks into the damaged leather as the shoe polish is there for protection - not colour.
