I have negotiated an exceptionally good price for steering wheel refurbishment / retrim on the B7 RS4 wheels and want to gauge interest in a group buy. I forgot to ask about other wheels (C6 RS6 etc) but I can firm this up if there is interest outside of the B7 world!
The refurbishment would be done by:
Code: Select all
ROYAL STEERING WHEELS
9 Cranley Crescent (off Prince Rupert Drive),
Buckingham Park,
Aylesbury,
HP19 9AA,
Buckinghamshire,
Phone: office: 01296709817 / mobile: 07894209349
E-mail: info@royalsteeringwheels.com
I have been in contact with Jack, the owner and he has offered the following prices based on a minimum of 5 wheels to be done.
£105 in leather (black leather only)
£125 in alcantara (black dark grey/charcoal)
£5 extra for a steering stripe (available in yellow, red, blue or black)
Stitching choice is free, and available in black, white, red, blue, yellow, green or charcoal.
Royal Steering Wheels will require the wheel for 10 days to carry out the work - they inferred that if they had the wheels on a Friday (for example) they would return them the following Monday. Postage would be £10 each but could be combined if two wheels were going to the same address.
Regarding how we send them off, I haven't yet discussed whether they want them all in one go (doubtul) or staggered over a few weeks etc. I would guess they don't want a sudden influx of wheels so I would imagine they will honour these prices for a set period after we've confirmed and we just send them off when we can within reason. I can firm this up with Royal when I next speak to them
Now, I've looked through the rules on the forum for organising group buys and think I've covered everything except the stuff about me! I haven't yet discussed with Royal Steering Wheels how they want payment, but I would imagine it would be directly to them individually once we have a list of people going ahead so no money is coming to me. I have no interest in gaining anything from this group buy other than to help other forum members - I'm paying exactly the same as everyone else for my own wheel and will get it done myself regardless of the outcome of this group buy
I have no association with Royal Steering Wheels - in fact, they were recommended to me by fellow members here on the forum only a few days ago
So, please put your name down if you're looking at getting this done so we can gauge the numbers.
Cheers
