Alternatively, does anyone know of any reputable trimmers in Sydney who could replicate OEM finish of FPV fat grip/chunky steering wheel? Thanks in advance.
25/03/19 12:12 AM25/03/19 12:12 AM #2 that's a good question... not a lot of people like to do upholstery work on their own cars, so there's not a lot of info around this forum... if it was me, I'd be ringing around to any trimmer/upholsterer to see if they'd do it, because if they know about the request in this case, I'd assume they'd know how to actually get the job done, too, as it's probably a fairly unique request.

Any good upholstery guy will be able to do what you want and there are a lot of good upholstery people in Sydney

I’d have a crack at it myself, because most of the intricate stuff is hand sewn, but that damn chunky grip has some serious contours to it and could be a bit tricky.
