Techart 340mm Steering Wheel (Pics)
Today I had my Techart steering wheel fitted - 340mm, full black leather with light grey stitching, airbag model, logo delete plus 25mm spacer. I'm 6ft7in and the transformation to my driving comfort and sense of control is considerable. I have more space and it feels so good in my hands. If you are tall and need more legroom, just buy one. Anyway, hope you enjoy the pics

This looks fab. I have graphite upholstery - and I don't like the wheel. - sports cars should never have pastel coloured wheels.
How much?
Who intalled it for you?
I take it that it is air-bagged
Does it obscure the instruments?

It was expensive - about £1100 fitted. It was instaled by Tech9 - <a href="http://www.tech9.ms" target="_blank">www.tech9.ms</a> - yes it is the airbag model.

I think the sunroof option or full electric seats reduces headroom.

Is this tech9 in Speke?

First time I've been to their premises and the overiding impression is that of a race team, with a retail sideline. They were attentive and courteous, so my impressions were good.
