Id like a nice new steering but there dont seem to be many about what im after my cars black and orange with chromebits, all my interior is black and orange and at the moment i have just a 3 spoke wheel iv painted the centre orange to match the outside of the car but i dont like it, iv had a chrome 3 spoke one too and got rid of that, i dont want a stupid modern one and i dont think a wood 1 would go with anything?
any suggestions.........
picutres????

heres my interior.......

do a google search for "gran pree" or "grand pree" i can't remember which, i've got one you could buy!
it's old but not too bad. £10 if you collect it (it's attached to a colum you can have that too)

the John Cooper Moto Lita ones are cool, ive just gotten the wooden rim one,with Cooper centre cap, cant wait to get it fitted! Wood and Pickett do them.

Oh, those are nice! If I had £112 to spend, that'd be on my list! :)

Call me old fashioned (and i'm sure you will :) )

I prefer a nice leather Mountney wheel

dunno if you would want the extra expense, but how about a normal black leather mountey or similar with the chrome spoke, then have the stitching replaced with orange stitching by a saddler or car retrim company?

To fit an airbag wheel, you need the mpi steering colum, ignition barrell, colum surround, stalks and the bracket to fit it to the lower dash rail, but they are a nice looking wheel.
