Got the steering wheel back on, I think it looks good and fits with the theme. Not sure what the theme is, but I still think it fits. Much like the off white wheels, that I may paint black or some other tire type colour. Here is a decent before photo of the original cover: Then I removed the cover, and posted here about it: https://bhhh.co.uk/skinned-the-steering-wheel/. This is the picture I used there: And now..
I have only owned 3 Volvo 300 series cars and only had this one for about 7 years now, so how is it that I have never noticed that Volvo chose to proudly advertise the fact that they’d chosen to use standard H4 bulb/lamps by embossing it right into the lens itself.
That’s it, good enough, just gotta re-fit it. Now begins the testing phase of seeing how this leather cover works, I wonder if it’ll stretch and come loose on the wheel. Perhaps the stitching will need to be tightened. Who knows, but I’ll only find out one way, so I shall re-fit it and see. Next I might see about making a matching gear stick gaiter and perhaps gear knob covers.
