What does everyone think? More than likely to get my next service at TVR Power. Might have to add this to my list - Nitrons (pending some good reports) & Sports Exhaust already on it.

Looks very nice indeed , I'd be tempted, but have blown quite a huge hole in my 'Tam budget' for a while , wonder how you would go about changing the steering wheel switches though??

The switches are mounted on a seperate plate, which is located between the steering wheel and mounting boss. Changed my S/wheel for a mountney item, couldn't wait to get rid of the ugly black spokes.

I may have to get one!! although it depends how much it'll be to get my heater sorted!!!, hang on,, I have a warrenty, would that cover it?????

(Think I'd draw the line at the spider alloy coffee table though, that and Chan would quite rightly want a divorce!!!)

May be worth having a search on the net, have seen the same wheel for £145 including VAT!

Big improvement, although not sure about the black painted insert/spoke at the bottom - It would be nice to get it trimmed in the same leather as the rest of the car though!!

ooh! look what I found!!

http://stores.ebay.com/e-Fashion-Topic_STEERING-WHEELS_W0QQcolZ2QQdirZ1QQsclZallQQsotimedisplayZ2QQtZkm

seems to be the same wheel, but with a silver rather than a black spoke! (Its also available with different colour leather inserts, but I think you'd be extremely lucky if it matched your existing leather..!)... oh. and it a LOT cheaper..!

(cheap enough to get it re-trimmed... ?)

the centre boss/horn thingy isnt that good, but perhaps you can change it out with the one on the existing wheel..?!

Quite like this one too....

mjc - I'd be a little worried that the wheels on ebay are a bit too cheap and the result may be much lower quality feel and finish.

Personally I think the std wheel is great, but replace the screws with shiney ones (mine went rusty!).

Had this Momo fitted during the build. The info buttons are fitted to the back as original and had the portland grey leather fitted into the centre. It's a lovely wheel to hold and looks a lot better than the standard one IMO.
