Since 2016, I have been offering a specialist steering wheel refurbishment and customisation service as well as retrimming gear gaiters, armrests and trim sets.
At Vpex trims we only using manufacturer grade or higher quality materials and threads whilst using manufacturer methods of retrimming.
Nick enquired this month about options for his steering on his BMW M3. After our discussion about the wheel, Nick decided to go full Alcantara with a grey stripe and black stitching whist keeping the thickness standard. Whilst I offer an exchange service for the wheels (of which I only use genuine wheels), Nick wanted to keep his original wheel from the factory that came with the car. We arranged a time to send the wheel in and I got to work straight away; after two working days, the wheel was ready for dispatch and delivered the next day before 1pm - most importantly, Nick was delighted with the results.
Comments from Nick Milward
'Coming from my E46 M3 which had a cheap and nasty Alcantara wheel trim I always knew that when I got my E92 M3 I knew I wanted a nice quality wheel. After browsing Instagram looking at a few companies. I messaged Valentino at Vpex trims. Instantly he replied and was very helpful! As a fellow car enthusiast he talked me through the removal of my wheel and talked me through posted. He kept me updated through the whole process and I couldn’t be more happier with the result!
The wheel arrived in a matter of days. Absolutely perfect finish. Everything I asked for and much more.
Absolute changed the interior of the car and I couldn’t be happier'..

I have been called with an idea to produce the Led Steering wheel using an original Bmw Core as not many on the market uses a genuine steering wheel core.
We have both sourced the led module and created the Led Steering wheel and manufactured the wheel to Dees spec. Ideas of half leather and half alcantara has been discussed however after considerations to his car design theme he went with full Alcantara with M power stitching.
Exchange option for his steering wheel with another M sport steering was offered however as the car was off the road his original steering wheel was dropped off and the process has started.
Test fit was carried out, Modified loom was supplied and fitted and checked the steering wheel functions including the new functions. The best part of this is that Dee still has use of his OBD port.
New function on the Led wheel include and not limited too Shift lights, oil temperature, battery voltage, boost pressures and lap timers.
