I use Jack at Royal Steering Wheels. He did the same for my E60 BMW a few years back so I can vouch for the longevity of the materials.

Thats very nice, do you have any more photos to show the details of the perforations or stitching. Did you get Jack to make it a beefier wheel all round too? What are the ballpark prices for this (PM if you prefer). I have heard of Jack from BMW circles a lot, but never used him as yet.

I can grab some more photos. That wheel will set you back about £120 all in on an exchange basis.

Thats a good price, I would be interested to see more pictures/closer details.
How long does it take, and did you remove and refit the wheel yourself?
Anyone know if it is possible to get the top section of the wheel fabricated to be gloss black, like the 2014MY HSE Lux?

After Lucero had his done I then got my FL2 wheel done to my specification.
