Completed my Sports steering wheel project - bought a flat bottom wheel off eBay and had it retriimmed at Royal’s who always do a fantastic job. Really pleased with the end result.
Looks stunning. How's the heating element? Read a few comments that with the thicker leather they use it's not as warm.

Thank you! It is not the leather that is thicker, rather that they do not remove the original leather on a heated F-Type wheel. Royals told me it is too risky in terms of damaging the heating element. It is probably 30% cooler than stock, but it felt fine with the roof down this morning. All good!

Love the wheel, is it easy to remove/replace?
In other news, spent several thousand pounds getting a few things sorted on the V8, supercharger nose/water pump/belts/pulleys .... in case you wondered a supercharged V8 is quite a bit quicker with the supercharger connected
Trickiest bit is the airbag release clips - they take a bit of getting too, but the rest is simple. Just need to ensure the clock spring is not moved too much.

I don't know where my original post went so I'll try again I hope It doesn't appear anywhere else but apologies If I repeat myself,,,,I'm sure that Jaguar will be a bit annoyed they never thought of this and charged a good few quid for it I just fitted mine and it's a lovely neat and tidy fit well worth £20 odd for.
