Carbon Fibre steering wheels

[CatmanV2]

What's that you say, Mr Ebay? A carbon fibre steering wheel suitable for a 4200?

I'm sure that's lovely, but normally well out of my budget I'm afraid!

What's that you say, Mr. Ebay? Only two hundred of my Earth pounds?!

Why, yes! Don't mind if I do

The office are looking at me very strangely as I pretend to be driving my car at my desk.

Not the ultra desireable GS one, but the specific 4200 one (which I didn't even know existed) In need of some light polish.

Yummmmmmmm!

Wow, well done Mr C - have you a photo or has it not arrived yet?

 

[drewf]

Wow - I *hope* it's arrived...

The image of Catman pretending to drive his car at his desk WITH a steering wheel in hand is bad enough... WITHOUT? They'd be calling for the long-sleeved jacket

Imagination is a powerful thing



Some light dings in the clear coat. Any suggestions for suitable treatments would be gratefully received

Drop it to a body shop to rub down and respray the clear coat Chris, they can hang it in the spray booth next time the clear any vehicle so shouldn't be at all expensive, it will take them longer to mask it up...

Was thinking of having a little go with the (low speed!) dremal and some autosol, but, that sounds like a plan given it's going to Feli on the 22nd

Well done...seen a few of these attached to cars in the past...looks nice.

You could always get it recovered in leather to cover up the carbon fibre! Send it to me, and I can 'arrange' for a leather one to be returned!

That looks great, top job! Be careful with rubbing down and painting, if you go through to the carbon bad things happen apparently.

Thanks Greg! I've warned you about hacking my webcam!

Tried the Autosol. Not really much better. Will get it re-laquered at some point. Ish

I'm getting mine refinished by the carbon company round the corner, I'll keep you posted.

I was stunned when it came up. GS ones go for about £700. Best chuffed

I spotted it on eBay and it looks very nice, I prefer the look af the gransport wheel more personally, but very glad for you it's definitely an improvement over the standard wheel.
