Thinking of wraping my stearing wheel in alcantera.

does anyone know of a shop that can do this task 100% perfect.
I had my stearing wheel scratched..The dealer says they will repair the chatter on the wheel(light scuff) but It got me thinking of Wrapping it in Alcantera(Black) with light grey stiching.

Any help in this matter will be welcomed.

Guys I spoke with Alan Gun the leather guy and saw some of his work. WOW he said we can get a group discount if we decided to do at least 4 stearing wheels. He can wrap in C/F or factory leather or alcantera ao any combo.
I'm in anyone else

Just a little spelling **** here, but they're spelled Steering Wheel and Alcantara.

LET C32 2002
Give us an idea of pricing of different wrappings and pics cause its something alot might be interested for but price dependant....Just cause we own MBs don't mean we want to spend freely for anything.

I did mine at TWS long time ago when I still had my AMG steering wheel. I think it was around $350 to wrap mine in alcantara and perforated leather. They did an excellent job.

They're right here in Plantation!

Yeah - I'm definitely in if there would be minimal turn time (same day).

I spoke to him and you are looking at 3 to4 days but he can give you a loaner wheel to drive with meanwhile.
