Hello everyone.
last month I found this thread on vortex: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?7374505-Steering-Wheel-Wrap-Xuji
after watching a few youtube "how to's" i decided to purchase one.
I bought mine off Aliexpress, heres the link; https://www.aliexpress.com/item/XuJ..._2&btsid=fe746df9-19f3-40a2-a084-055b26c8e1fb
you can customize yours to your liking but i was pretty set on the all suede one with red stitching.
few weeks later I got my little box from china, very well packaged and included everything as you can see. (Except scissors)
Initial thoughts were; "how the fuck Am i gonna do this? ive never even sewn a button in my life"
After watching a few more videos i realized that these two are the only ones that truly helped me with the install.

yeah I watched the other mk7 videos but they dont show you shit. if you're gonna make a tutorial video just get to the point and show more close up shots of the important details, no one wants to see your face while you talk to a camera through out the whole video.
anyways, I went ahead and took one of my girlfriends ritalins and went to town on this wrap.
Took me about 3hrs to get it done but it got dark by the time i was almost finished so I couldnt 100% finalize it. Today i finished it, tucked everything in nice, tightened all the stitching and called it a day. so id say it took me 4hrs all together.
I couldn't be happier with the result and with myself tbh.
The suede feels amazing and it really adds a good amount of thickness to the wheel. I will be happy if this lasts for at least a year and then ill probably buy another.
what do you guys think?? if anyone has any questions just comment down below, any feedback is appriciated it.
