So after keeping the red bits black using boot polish for years I decided it was time to get my LCR’s steering wheel professionally refurbished.
After a couple of recommendations from people I gave Royal steering wheels a call.
The refurbished wheel arrived today and it looks absolutely amazing.
Can’t fault the service either. He sent me a mk4 golf wheel to put on mine temporarily then once I’ve put mine back on send the golf one back to him. Roughly 2 week turn around time, brilliant... View attachment 10320 View attachment 10321 Top class job, the detail, the smell, the feel of it. Can’t wait to get it back in now.

looks really good mate. what was the cost if you dont mind sharing ?

It was £160 and £9.99 postage.
I had mine done to original spec but there are many different options available including alcantara.

I wish I'd known this two years ago. I could literally scoop the water out of the passenger footwells with a jug there was that much of it. That towel has never been the same, and there's always been a bit of a smell since...

Followed said advice yesterday - Aldi Nappies though then ran the dehumidifier all night ...clear as a bell this morning - now just to get rid of the something died in here smell.

Alright Gents.... are your headlights on as DRL’s???!!!

With my lights turned to the off position my low beams run still while the car is running

I just swapped my light switch today thinking it was broken but it didn’t help the problem

Have you retrofitted LED's by any chance ?

Good point, some **** ones need a resistor to make them go off completely.

That's decent that! I've got an LCR wheel ready to go on my FR+ and its in worse condition than yours, just going to paint the red stripe at the top so it looks newer for now as its only a daily.

How much did they charge if you don't mind me asking.

@lightup asked the same. Lol
It was £160 and £9.99 postage. I think that’s decent considering how good it looks.
I’ve painted the red stripe before now on mine but thought it was time to get it done properly.

Lights are completely stock.

Apparently PIN number 3 on the light switch is TFL (Tages Fahr Licht) meaning daytime driving lights I’m going to disconnect that pin and see what happens! I also have seen where people take the fog lights off pin 8 and put them there and now your fogs are auto on DRLs

Not that I've done much research, but I hear 'ozone' and I worry about the environmental impact. Do you know anything that might put my concerns to rest?

The generation of Ozone is only harmful to the environment from the point of the high amounts of electric energy needed at an industrial level , Small ozone generators for cleaning rooms etc are not normally a problem however inhaling ozone can cause health problems.
You dont need to worry unless close to an industrial ozone generator that cracks its containment vessel....then get as low as you can to the ground.

I've just spent a good while browsing their site: http://royalsteeringwheels.com/

I'm sat opposite my girlfriend at the moment and I'm supposed to be working, and she can tell I'm hatching a plan... My wheel's looked shiny and shabby since I bought the car...

Well, there you have it. Everyone I've heard of who's done it has said it worked wonders, so I'll have to look into it. Magic Tree just doesn't cut it anymore...
