IIRC Carbideco quoted RM250 to do it for Club members. Last we checked, their quality is pretty good.

 

[shaifulo]

where is carbideco?

 

[affan66]

shaifulo,next to Tesco Puchong.

 

[feisaldzul]

near tesco puchong

If Tesco is on your right, take a left turn right after Tesco. It's on the same row...big yellow and green building. You won't miss it. Look for Luke and say you're from BMWCLUB and they'll give you a special price.BTW, they gave the club a special price for new leathers....will get clearance first before posting it up.....for 3er, 5er, 7er & X models.

 

[shaifulo]

ok roger that..what 'bout other places?

try y2k at desa tun razak, beside ramly burger factory, xcellent workmanship

Bro,Recently I got mine refinished at WECOLOR in Subang Jaya.What they did was to refinish the surface of the leather and not rewrap the wheel. Blardy excellent job! and I'm real happy that they didi not have to take apart my steering wheel!Cost me RM150 and carries a 1 year warranty.Call me for details!

kev, what do you mean refinish the surface of the leather? ehat the difference between refinish and rewrap.can refurbish for rubber/foam type?

 

[kevster30]

Jarance,Rewrap = change the leather and rewrapRefinish = reskin the existing leather, how do you think we get black leather?

hey actually this should be a nice little detail item that would look like a million bucks if dun right....

Imagine brand new fresh high quality leather re-wrapped around MTech II with nice white (OR RED) stictching....like on expensive watch straps....imagine dimpled leather (tiny holes ...like what mr hatish did fur his e34....like leather driving gloves....wahhh)......wohooo...would look like the BOMB!! (not to mention FEEL like a million bucks!!!)

One proviso tho....must be high quality job e.g. carbi deco etc....so must wanna spend moolah for proper job....dun wanna botch this up...

Shaif go fur it man!
