    S60R V70R Steering Wheel from Royals

    Recently, I was very kindly given a S60R/V70R steering wheel from a member on VolvoTuning. As the wheel had covered over 100K of driving, I decided to send it to Royal Steering Wheels to have it refurbed & personalised.

    Royals had the steering wheel for about 10 days and it has been returned to me looking simply FANTASTIC - really pleased with the service and craftmanship from Royals.

    I asked for the wheel to be recovered in both a textured leather and also the perforated leather, combined with blue stitching to match the stitching on the DIM cover and interior handles:







    Total cost of the refurb was £119.99 including Parcelforce Next Day return delivery.

    Can't recommend Royal Steering Wheels enough

    It was the recommendations from yourself Pete, along with the positive experiences from Mike and Ian that made my mind up to send it to Royals - their work is stunning.

    Great job with the steering wheel too! When I get mine done, I'll be sending the leather gear knob too.

    Cheers lol. I'm just waiting to have it wrapped in the clear protective vinyl....should protect it a little from stone chips breaking the lacquer and making it look a mess in the future.

    I think your car now has more R badges than a proper R. Wheel does look nice though.

    Yeah, especially a black S60R, think it should be posted to me.
