My lost steering wheel finally made its way home from Ukraine. Apparently customs had their way with it for awhile until they were sure it wasn't drugs. Decided to throw in some extra ricey bits to complete the trifecta (red control button and blue start button) Wrong stitching but I'm happy with it either way.

I've owned my newest 128i (M-sport, 6-sp) for three-days now.
Drove it home from Wisconsin on Tuesday.
Within a day put on the Apex wheels I got for it before I bought it :

More pictures in the album. If you have a plastic sport wheels I highly recommend this.







Thanks for this.
My leather wheel's been flaking for 2 years, and really started falling apart early this year. I was looking at Redline Goods to match my shift boot, but $159 seems a bit rich. Especially when my wife won't stitch it up, and they want $189 additional to install it!
Found what looks like the cover for my 2012 M-Sport on sale for $45. Hard to pass that up. Guess I'm gonna learn to stitch!

Hard to tell, but is your front windshield tinted? I've been thinking of getting that done maybe, the amount of heat that comes in through the front is ridiculous. Been thinking of getting a clear tint, just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

It isn't hard at all. Especially if you have the dental picks or some tweezers to pick up and pull the threads.

I did not use the double sided tape.

I started on one of the lower quarters. Stitch one to one until you are to the wheel then start the skip stitch until you get back to the spoke and go 1 - 1.

I ended up stitching almost the entire length loosely then going back to the beginning with 2 picks and using them to alternately pull tension and hold the threads.

It goes easy once you get the hang of it....

Once you get a rythm going, it just flies by. There are some good guides out there. I used a cheap Xuji cover kit from Amazon and it's held up fairly well. I think I'll probably redo it in the future, but it's much better than the horrible standard wrap was at the time.

Thanks. Yes I could raise it. I've been thinking about going up an 1/4 to 1/2 inch. It settled a little bit since I first installed it. The ride is sublime, smooth and controlled.

The front is not tinted. The sides are limo black. I have a BMW sun shade for the front that I use all the time here in FL. It's reflective & thick. Makes a massive difference.

Is the limo black legal there? Do they bother you about stuff like that in Florida? Like not having a front license plate. Is that legal in Florida? It's illegal here in California but I hadn't had a front plate for more than 30 years and never got a ticket or even a warning.

Now, in my VW, I have my first front plate in all those years. I made it fun and got Legacy plates, which here means black plates, to go with my black car, and yellow letters/numbers. Added stainless steel frames.

I know, not a 1er (hope I'm forgiven) lol, but it's what I got and the VW forums are so damn boring. I like it here better.
