"Big grip" steering wheel

I see a few folk have replaced the original RR steering wheel with a Powerfull UK version, but only the standard sized version. Has anyone fitted the "big grip" version? I really like the look of it but could do with some real life experiences before shelling out nearly £400 and not liking it!

Not in keeping with the "Range Rover" ethos IMO.

I went with the normal size with perforated leather and piano black and is lurvly!! They had a big grip one available but I decided against it for the same reasons as Martin. FFRR TD6 HSE

Standard nappa leather one was my favourite. Wood's OK to look at but my wedding ring clacks on it. Thick grip is for rally cars IMHO

OK, so it seems that the "big grip" isn't in keeping with RR tradition, so I think I might look at the standard sized one, but with nappa leather, since my original steering wheel hasn't aged as well as the rest of the car.

In saying that, I might just nip round to the plumbers yard for some nice 2" copper pipe and make a DIY one! Thumbs Up Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
