Fitted my heated steering wheel last night.

Cost me £270 for the wheel, slipring and relay.

Will post it up and put my non heated wheel up for sale (as it is in excellent condition and has the tri-colour stitching).

Tbh I tend to use German eBay as they just generally have so much more on offer. And it's cheaper shipping with no taxes compared to the US. Got my BBS rims and winter tyres off German eBay too for £680 delivered.
