We recently revitalised a tired VW steering wheel, giving it a new lease of life with a complete retrim in premium leather. The upgrade featured a flat-bottom design, perforated grip zones on the sides for improved tactile feedback, and smooth leather across the top and bottom for a refined finish. Vibrant yellow stitching added a distinctive touch, all executed to OEM-level standards right here in the UK.
- Custom retrimmed leather with yellow contrast stitching
- Perforated grip areas for enhanced control and comfort
- Sleek, smooth finish on top and bottom for a modern look
Key Benefit: Enhanced driving comfort and aesthetics for those who spend significant time behind the wheel.

For this VW Transporter T6, we carried out a full daytime running lights (DRL) system replacement. Unlike simple LED swaps, this project involved removing the original wiring and modules, which can vary significantly depending on the source of the parts. We supplied and fitted a complete new kit, ensuring the van’s lighting operated reliably and safely.
- Installed a full DRL system, not just replacement bulbs
- Replaced all wiring and control modules for total reliability
- Ensured compatibility with various part sources
- Supplied and fitted brand-new kits when required
Key Benefit: Restored road safety and visibility with a professionally integrated lighting system.
