passing time on ebay and i came across something that looked interesting

there is a place that will do an exchange on your old steering wheels and will make one for you to your specs.

I thought I'd have a look....and read thoroughly the whole description...

Steering wheel is just remodeled visually into a unique shape style
 and re-trimmed with new car leather. There is no any metal cutting or welding
 to make flat shape, is just extra padded.

The good thing is...

No core exchange needed. You don’t need to send back your steering wheel,
 like on other auctions. You can resell & get some money back.

But come on...£298.87 (£279.89+£18.98 p&p)...
for a repadded + re covered steering wheel

Not for me...I'd rather go the Momo route, with a detachable boss.

Yes it is a bit expensive.

Not sure if anyone's noticed it  but ..... the multifunction steering wheel is made by Momo  ,

It's stamped into the casting on the back  ..... and is clearly visible in some ( good ) pictures of the wheel ....

I considered it for my car at one point but it doesn't go with the style. If it were a Brabus, maybe.

I did come across it too, and was tempted at some point, put on some photos, the quality doesn't seem that good, and eventually I'd rather have it with alcantara on the sides and leather on the top and bottom.
Plus the price is a bit too much for my budget.

how much is a multifunctional wheel to buy?

If you read the description/details fully, if he supplies an m/f wheel
it doesn't come with all the buttons etc....you have to use the one's
that you have...so if you haven't got an m/f wheel to start with then
it's a 'no go'. And seriously, would you want to try dismantling one
if you had one....I don't think so.

I had to disassemble  + reassemble my M/F wheel to in order to install paddleshifters into it. It is a fiddly job with many tiny, thin wires that can easily break if you rush it at all.
