I'm intrigued by these things. Where did you buy? I found a leather one £27 delivered from Wish

:lol: Not quite, but I do use it for work a lot! You cant see the dashcam, it's hidden behind the mirror. And you cannot see the handsfree either! Getting myself a smart watch with phone capability so I will remove the phone holder if the phone/watch works out well.

How did you get on with tucking the leather behind the spokes. My spokes look incredibly tight around the existing leather on the wheel. Did you remove them to wrap it, and did you remove the wheel to actually work on it or do it in situ?
I ask as I am tempted to get one and give it a go.
I have done mine and the left and right spokes fit over the top but the bottom one does not. I thought that it wouldn't tuck in but it did quite easily actually. There is enough give in the original leather to provide enough gap.
This is quite easy to put on the wheel but it is time consuming so dont do it if you need the car the next day for work
If you have a standard wheel it is definately worth doing. It looks and feels so much better. I used the cheaper faux leather wrap.

I kept the wheel on, but removed the plastic spoke covers, it is four screws to undo but it is likely to snap the bit where the screw goes into, as one of mine has. The covers snap back on and the screws should then tighten it all up and hold it all together. The broken one is just snapped on at the moment. Once I get a bit more time I will glue it back together properly, but to be honest you wouldn't really know and they don't just fall off without the screw holding them together.
All it needs is a bit of patience, but as was said earlier, start early in the morning or plan not to use the car the next day as it will take four or five hours.

Looks great. Mine is due sometime in the next couple of weeks. It's cleared customs so will hopefully come quickly!!

Well it arrived yesterday and I finished it off tonight. Precious suggestion in this thread of 4 hours fitting Tim is about right.
I went wrong from the very beginning though and went all gung-ho removing the trim only to break almost all of them so there's no screw holes to put it back together. Hopefully a touch of super glue will do the trick.
Fitting it was a little tricky but once you get into the swing of the stitching it starts to come together really well. Mine turned out pretty good although it wasn't lined perfectly so the stitching isn't quite in the middle where it should be but I'm still very happy.

I didn't bother going for the leather one. This is very nice in hand though
