A Bentley steering wheel we made for customer

Customer came in with a nice Bentley GT convertible!
Car already modded with Body kit, custom Rims and even rewrapped 2 tone interior. The additional saddle brown color made the seat and interior look nice, Luxury yet sporty!
However, the modified steering wheel didn't meet owner's standard!
So, customer bring in the modified steering wheel and decided to "upgrade" it again!

This is picture of OEM GT steering wheel (picture from internet)


This is what customer brang in



Perforated saddle brown section



Finish and stitching



The material used was nice, stitching was solid, but the overall finish didn't meet customer's expectation.

So, we redo the steering wheel

After some detail discussion and confirmed the design, we started working on this steering wheel!

Steering wheel we made for the GT
1) More ergonomic side grips
2) Perforated saddle brown section nicely combined as "inserts" on both sides
3) Stitching as requested: Saddle color with black leather, black color with saddle leather. Very difficult since we have to restart the stitching each conjunction area to switch color

Pictures:







and we have a Happy Customer!!

Again, Your Design, Our work!

Looks great. But I think it looks better without the seam at bottom center.

wow, much improved!

i'd say the stock was even better than what your customer brought in. your attention to detail and the ergonomic shape of the wheel is pretty amazing.

do you mind sharing how you reshaped the wheel itself?

I have some interesting idea, I am not very good made a website that is why people always said my website can not justify the product quality we offer, anyone want to help me make a nice website to trade one of the steering wheel? Just a crazy thinking
