steering custom wheels

custom steering wheels
#1
just contacted a company called control custom steering wheels via facebook, i had seen they had modified a standard steering wheel, to look like a vxr steering wheel, when i get my car i will definatly be going with this company.

they quoted me 145 quid to convert a standard steering wheel to a biturbo lookalike, i think thats very cheap when you consider a real one is like nearly 400 quid. 

anyway just thoought id tell you lot

I would be cautious with these facebook companies, I cannot see any business address and the internet picks up very little about them. Judging by the grammar I would say they are foreign owned. This I presume would be a mail order transaction, you post to them and they send it back to you which would be a worry when dealing with a company with very limited history and no feedback.
