check out this thread mate
http://www.fordmods.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6330 although you can get EF/EL black leather ones for cheaper than it'd cost to get your existing one wrapped for - trust me!

I have an AU Leather wrapped wheel in my EL. I believe it is of an XR.
You could try sourcing one of these.

Did you try Ferntree Gully Auto Salvage on this site. I bought one recently off him for the wifes EL. Brand new $150. Not sure if he has any left but well worth it if he has.

Mine is black and doesn't match the light grey interior of my EL. I think it looks ok, makes the wheel stand out more. See gallery. If you can get a cappuccino one I think it would start looking grubby real quick.

I'd love to wrap my EL XR6's wheel in leather too, instead of the black 'hard' vinyl. However the thing that puts me off about getting an AU wheel to replace it is the changing over myself or cost of getting it done, to fit it with the airbag properly. How hard would it be to swap the 'back' of the wheel and just clip on my EL XR6's 'body' back on with airbag inside?

come to a cruise - we'll do it then!

we all know what an EL interior looks like lol...so no before pics but ill get an after one today some time. U cant tell the difference, if i told you i got a black EL airbag ud have no way to tell (despite the fact they dont exist). It was either that or buy an AU airbag but meh, expensive and good luck finding one from the wreckers.
