Thank you!!:p To update you all... I have started, I’ve made the sleeve, now all I need to do is find time long enough without the children to sit in my car and stitch up the wheel... I had made an attempt last week whilst my son was at a birthday party and I sat parked up outside, but I became...

:eek: I’ve not started it yet! This weekend I reckon ;)

I like to set myself a challenge :p:p;)

Mine are 15” :)

My ‘eBay special’ hubcaps have arrived... although they’re not MB, I think they tidy the car up quite well :D Before.... After....

Material and thread have arrived!! :D:p

I don’t have the tools to remove the steering wheel anyway, so I’m going to get my mechanic friend to remove it. I could just stitch it whilst still attached but think it would be awkward... Either way, I’ll be sure to post photos!!:D

Tempting ;):p maybe my job job is in the wrong field!! :D I’m honestly attracted to the challenge now! :D If it goes Pete Tong then I may have to result to ordering one ;) Otherwise, I’ve found online a dark grey faux leather (real leather is expensive :eek:) which I think would look great...

Also, there are some things I didn’t agree on with his method... For example, I wouldn’t be using glue to stick down the leather where the arms of the wheel are. Glue (especially fabric glue) doesn’t last very well in the heat and over time, so I can imagine in a year the excess material would...

I’m actually really excited about this little project now after watching that! The hardest part for me to complete in that entire video will be the removal of the steering wheel - simply because I only own a couple of screwdrivers! But as long as I can borrow the tools from somewhere then I’ll...

There doesn’t appear to be any available at the moment... but I’ll keep my eye out. Failing that I’ve seen some diy leather covers which you sew on yourself at home. I’m a good seamstress so I might just give that a go for £7. If it looks crap, i can always take it off :D

I’ve never even heard of the company and I live in Caversham o_O there is another one I know of (also in a Caversham) but I’ll take a look when the next service is due :D Thabjs for taking a look though! :p:D

They look great! :D

:p:D;)
