VW T6.1 BadBoy Steering Wheel Retrofit Showcases Luxury
This VW T6.1 BadBoy steering wheel upgrade is all about elevating the driving experience—literally and visually. The customer wanted something that not only looked the part but felt better in-hand too. So we reshaped the original wheel for a sportier contour, then went all-in with a full leather retrim. 🛠️🚐
Ever grabbed your steering wheel and thought, “This doesn’t feel quite right”? That was the story here—until now. We gave this Transporter’s interior a serious boost with a bespoke BadBoy wheel, reshaped for a more aggressive grip, then hand-finished in high-grade leather. The stitching? Matched perfectly to the seat colour for that clean, OEM-plus finish. 👌
Clean, OEM-Level Finish
We don’t do half-measures. This VW T6.1 BadBoy steering wheel was reshaped to bring a sportier profile—shallower at the top with more pronounced thumb grips. Then came the leatherwork: genuine hide, perforated along the sides for grip, smooth top and bottom for comfort, all stitched by hand. The result? Pure factory-inspired craftsmanship with that custom twist you only get from a proper retrofit.
Details That Matter
What makes this wheel sing is the attention to detail. The stitching wasn’t just close—it was exact, colour-matched to the Transporter’s seat trim. It’s those small things that tie an interior together. The reshaped grip gives more control, especially on longer drives, while the leather offers a tactile upgrade that feels just right in any season.
Why It’s More Than Just a Wheel
This isn’t just a visual mod—it’s an upgrade to how you connect with the van. We’ve had drivers say it changes the whole feel of the cab. And because it’s coded correctly, all existing steering wheel buttons and controls remain fully functional. No errors, no faults—just seamless integration, as if VW had done it themselves.
Expert Work Behind the Scenes
Behind this transformation is a process that includes airbag-safe removal, careful disassembly, and reinstallation with zero compromise on safety. We also ran full diagnostics before and after the retrofit to ensure no error codes were triggered during removal or refitting—something we always recommend when working on VAG vehicles, especially when dealing with steering components or airbags. That’s proper vag retrofit procedure.
