Have attached a couple of photos to show how it's turned out. I'm quite pleased with it overall - nice tidy stitching. Only thing I'd advise would be to thoroughly tape up the walnut sections before sending off, as it came back with a small number of (admittedly very minor) marks here and there - not noticeable, in fairness.. they're probably not used to re-trimming wood wheels..

Expensive at £170, but will tie-in better with its surrounds once fitted

BTW, their website says they're very busy at the moment.

Are you still in Enniskillen, Karl? whilst it is too late now, but it may be useful for future reference, there is a guy relatively local, in Ballymena, Arek Car Design. He did my steering wheel and various gaiters, as well as gear selector and the handbrake handle. I dont know how accurate the other colours are, but the perforated ash grey is very very close. He mistakenly did the wheel smokestone, as that was how I dropped it off, and it seemed to be quite close to my eye (I had nothing to refer it to).

Images of the ash grey perforated are attached
