Re-trimmed steering wheel

I have a Royals re-trimmed wheel coming. It will be trimmed thicker and in Alcantara.

Question... is this classed as an insurance notifiable mod?

So, there it is.

New wheel from Royals, Full Alcantara in black. Slightly thickened to give more of an Msport feel.

Very happy with it.

We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard..

Enjoy!! :thumbsup:

Second one I've had done by Royal. I'd say this one is better than the first.

I've just spoken to my insurer Hastings Direct, no change to policy as deemed a cosmetic change not performance enhancing. Note added to record the wheel has been retrimmed.... move on :thumbsup:

Poor Control Customs. It seems they don’t get any love here. I love the work they did for me, especially during with Brexit and Covid times. The sporty side handles is brilliant.
