Something you don't often see on the back of aftermarket leather steering wheels:

Also what's up with your pedals :P

Looks good - just not sure about the anatomical finger indents and I'd prefer to see red stitching

Its amazing how much a good, smaller wheel can change your driving experience, I've had aftermarket Momo Race wheels in all my non-airbag cars

I didn't like the plastic feel on the std ones on the car, the brake and clutch pedals were just slip on covers anyway so i took them off and put the rubber ones that are std on all other liberty models. I'd change the accl pedal too but they are usually plastic anyway and it looks complicated to remove so i left it .

I really like the indents, would have been nice if the std wheel had some at the back of 3 o'clock and 9 o'clok positions too.

I didn't get red stitch as there is nothing else with red stitch in the car, didn't want the wheel to look odd, prefer to keep things nice and subtle.

I reckon it looks fantastic! Looks like it would be more comfortable too. And the extra thickness gives an extra feeling of luxury - reminiscent of audi steering wheels me thinks

Fair call, I changed the rubber ones for the alloy ones you took off. I found when my shoes are wet they don't grip as well as on the rubber ones. The accelerator is a bit fiddly to change but it is of all plastic construction but with the alloy face crimped onto the plastic base.

You need to take the whole accelerator pedal arm out of the car and use a vice and punch to change the pedal over.
