How much does Mike charge for this and what is the turnaround time?

Sibster,
That is the problem with suede, it does this after a very short time. In fact we have already done one of those exact steering wheels, but converting it to black leather and red stitching (to match a red car as well), as it went like yours has in only a few months of buying it brand new.
Andy,
The leather / stitching is very good quality and the longest that one has been on the car so far is 7 years and still going

Good stuff Mike just waht i needed to know, thats long enough for me 
Would this one be ok to retrim?? Magenta stictching would be cool to match the colour of my car
I would obviously send it without the center as the leather in the center is embossed with the RS logo and i wouldnt want to loose that. Oh and is it still £75 ish???
