Still Looking For.....

......A nice part-wood Steering-Wheel. The last thing I want to finish off the interior. I keep looking on Ebay, and keep getting blasted 'Granada' type stuff, what is it about people that don't know the difference? Does the 'part-wood' steering-wheel have the Cruise-Control stuff on it?
I just got my 12-spoke alloys back from the powder-coating company................WOW! I'll put up pics later-on.

Some have the cruise buttons, some don't.
Baz fitted the cruise buttons to one, I think it was a fiddley job but possible

Can't get one anywhere! I think CC buttons would be a must.

Fella in Aberdeen has his own business. Finesse Coatings. I gave them to him on a Friday, and they were done by the following weekend. They were in ok condition, but no matter because they do a full refurbishment. Cost £50 a wheel. The finish is absolutely fantastic, even better than in the photos really.

Thanks
How close are they to the original colour, they look a tad grey rather than silver or is it just the photos?

Because it's not paint it's a powder-coating, it is a shade darker than the original but a much deeper shine. What I'll have to do now is strip the centre-caps and get them to do those also.

I had some stuff powder coated in silver which I was really impressed with - very silver and not at all grey - dare I say almost 'chrome-like' ?
Company called Keep Powder Coating in Uckfield, East Sussex.
Very helpful and friendly service.

Thanks Baz. It's a bit damaged that one, it would need to be a good-un for that price. I did as you suggested on Ebay Germany, zero returns! I'll need to keep looking.
