My wheel came from Poland via FedEx with no customs duty. There was no core charge per se but perhaps it was rolled into the cost of the new wheel which was around $900 at the time. I did have an issue with the left bank of controls on the wheel not working correctly and Guardian offered to fix that but I just removed the left bank from my stock wheel and put that into the new wheel. Has been perfect for the past almost two years.

1- is your leather and alcantara color “Black”, it appears to be dark grey in the photos
2- did tomasz provide the steering wheel
3- did you retain your own steering wheel
4- would you change anything now that it is installed
5- are you happy with the way it complements your interior
I've been in contact with Thomasz, and seriously thinking of purchasing a similar steering wheel
thank you in advance for your response
warm regards
Frank Barone


Mine is now also installed. I had the same issue wit wiring harness and switches. But now everything works fine.
Hi ollibee hopefully you can read above the questions I have.
regards Frank

Hi everyone and thank you for your photos and comments. I received my steering wheel from Dallas Steering Wheel yesterday and hopefully it will be installed in my jag today. I will post photos after installation, but for now here are some photos:
1 alcantara top and bottom
2 Napa perforated leather on sides
3 leather stripe at 12 o’clock
4 cross stitching

I guess I'll use this thread as it seems to have the most folks replying to it and good information for customization.

I haven't seen any indication of this, but are the steering wheels uniserial in that they can work with either manual or automatics? I would think you just remove the paddle shifters if you aren't going to use them but would like better then a guess before I drop a few hundred bucks on a flat bottomed wheel for my manual 2017.

Thank in advance for any assistance....

I see this thread died on the vine a little while ago, but I’m looking to improve the disappointing OEM leather steering wheel with some quality stuff. I really like Guardian’s simplicity but their website says they only support pre-facelifted models (up to FY20) I PM’d their account with no response yet, but wanted to know if anyone here has a facelift model and ordered their wheel. I prefer the thinner updated wheel to the much thicker design of the older models so that’s my main concern.
