THIS ONE

Anyone had one fitted? Looks good but was it worth the extra?

OK, so I couldn't resist :

Price is down quite a bit, possibly because this wheel is fitted to the new C70? Well happy, leather feels a lot nicer than the standard one and it's really nicely sculpted.

Just purchased my V50, with black leather steering wheel and i want to fit the sports wheel like yours, How much are we talking here for the wheel?

Cheers

At the time, the wheel itself was £197 and the dealer charged £28 to fit it (prices excl. VAT)

Hi,

Thats not so bad is it? Looks the Dogs tho, i take it you pleased with it? Any idea if the price has dropped since the C30 has come out?

Cheers

i bought one with my new V50 following advice from marke above. Cost me about £240 as i remember. Every time i drive the car i am pleased i got it, much nicer than the standard wheel, i was worried the alluminium insert would be abit too bling but it goes really well with the dash etc. Gets abit cold in the winter though!

I love it - big difference from the standard one. Just feels "right" to me.

Price may well have come down recently - it dropped a chunk in price after the C70 came out, which was when I got mine.

Cold in winter I can deal with - dangerously hot in summer is a lot worse...

Where are the audio controls and the cruise controls? Surely you don't lose them if you spec the new steering wheel?

My car never had them in the first place but if you have them then you don't lose them. The wheel centre and the pieces on the side are transferred from your old wheel.
