Get the dealer to do it for you. They will have to de-activate and remove the drivers airbag to change the steering wheel. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

Business is business these days, on what grounds could they turn down an opportunity to take money off you!
Of course they may sell a nicer steering wheel that is 1/2 the price, but that's the risk you have to take! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Mate let me know how it looks when you get it done - have you got the wheel yet? Does it feel better than what you have? I know Hawke do a half wood trim one, which also looks good....
