Thank you. Seems to be an all leather steering wheel, but there is no description of the object. Anyway, I bought the leather wrap and just looking for the time I need to do the sewing part

Sewing done! Satisfied with the result except for the color. Charcoal of the wheel wrap is considerably lighter compared to the jaguar charcoal leather

Default Dyeing Leather

You can dye it to try and match but it’ll be hit and miss. You’ll need to re stitch it every time you’re wrong though

Keep in mind that over time, the natural oils on your hands will gradually darken that stitching for you. Just be sure to move your hands around on the wheel on a regular basis so all of the stitching eventually gets affected....

Now I know that black wheel skin will be better match. Maybe I order a new one later on, but for now the charcoal one will do
