Interesting, but expensive.

I've bought stuff from that seller before.

It was an ''interesting'' experience.

Durability doesn't appear to be high on their list.

Me too, I directed a fellow owner to them for rear lights and the owner then let me know 6 months later the "lights had gone out" so to speak

I'm not one for throwing negativity around regarding other sellers - but our business models seem to differ significantly in that I've gone for the 'long warranty and support for a little extra' approach, whereas I've had a couple of mis-directed complaints associating myself and that seller regarding after sales support.

Didn't help that they copied a lot of our product titles word for word for their eBay listings...

okay, £200 for a steering wheel, and they don't even post decent pictures of it, nor have they removed the packaging so you can actually see the quality or patterning of the wood, and one non-enlargeable photo?

That's just POOR! I wouldn't buy it on principle.

Can't fault your service! I had to order just over a month ago from that seller on ebay an exhaust strap for an original backbox as mine had snapped. Took over 2 weeks to arrive, I sent them a message and they replied saying that it was special order and had to be moved from another warehouse.

So it is made of actual wood, as from a tree, or is it a plastic wood-effect type.?

DON’T DO IT!

I bought a SAIC wheel from another seller on eBay, I think they were based on the south coast. Absolute rip off. The quality is horrible, the wood feels like plastic as does the ‘leather’.

The coating on the cruise and radio controls comes off very easily, to the point of when using them they leave black ‘bobbles’ on your fingers.

Rubbish. Absolutely rubbish.

Good to know, but that applies to virtually all SAIC stuff. Quality is generally TERRIBLE, but the ridiculous prices being asked doesn't reflect that. Don't be tempted by any of it (personally I would include the so-called "Premium" grill which is neither pretty nor good).
