I was looking to use Royal to have exactly what you've done on exactly the same steering wheel...I ended up changing the cars instead, but always wanted the alcantara wheel in my old Cayman.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
17 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.
PistonHeads: 1 discussions
0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.
0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.
Generation: 20261026T074343Z · outcome-qualification-6. Deterministic extraction; no AI model inference. How we use sources
Will be changing the steering wheel over the winter.
Questions as follows please.
Can I disconnect the battery for 7 days while the wheel is being replaced and the airbag being removed. Will I do any damage to the ECU and will it have to re learn any settings?
Thanks for your help.

Did you use the guys at Royal (after our conversation) and if so were you pleased with it?

Hi, am thinking of getting the wheel done on my cayman but have seen there is either black or grey to choose from-which one did you pick? Also has the retrimming increased the diameter of the wheel by much as don't really want it to be much bigger
Thanks
I went for Dark Grey, to give the interior some contrast. Yes the wheel comes back a little thicker and with thumb grips, not too thick, just right.
Royals do a great job

I didn't realise they used that style wheel in the Gen2 cars??

Looks a good contrast and a proper good job! Sorry when I said diameter I meant of the wheel in total across the face (i.e from hand to hand when holding at 3:15 position) rather than thickness of the rim,
Thanks
