Did they also refurb the arms on the wheel? If so, how did it turn out?

Not sure you'd want the m steering to be thicker unless you have giant hands! Personally i like the strip.

It's just black Alcantara and it's standard thickness. You definitely wouldn't want it thicker. Another option for the TDC stripe would be to have just coloured stitching instead of a solid colour. I had a new Porsche Cayman S last year for the weekend and it had a grey alcantara wheel with a slightly lighter grey TDC stripe outline stiched. It looked lovely and was very subtle.Angelus666 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 10, 2017 5:44 pmEasty, what colour Alcantara is that...that's exactly what I'm looking for! My car is Ruby Black so could have a dark red stripe to bring it together.Easty-5 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 10, 2017 3:23 pm I went for the top stripe. Looks fantastic. Royal's did my wheel and a fantastic job they done.

No the arms weren't refurbed, only the actual wheel itself.

Forget the stripe - looks goofy. Go for a drag chute instead.....

Do what feels right for you buddy
Depends more upon colour and if well done.
Irony as M cars are designed as track cars that are able to be used on the road
Hence not mpas.
So go for it as it's, it's pedigree

No from me. It's not a race car or a supercar.

Out of curiosity how much does it cost to have your steering wheel refurbed?
