Now, I'm absolutely bored of my Swift's regular steering wheel.

The Ikon steering was real great – not even much bigger & expensive cars comes closer to it. In fact the steering is the one the driver is in contact the most, wonder why manufacturers compromise here.

Go for those good covers on the makes suggested above. That will cover the need and do not spend lot. I have seen couple of swifts with replaced steering wheels – just fancy and not convenience.

hii, do you know any place in delhi from where I can get this done ?

I am afraid not. As it happens, most of the car upholstery guys have factories in Bangalore - Stanley, Pensee etc. Probably, you can check with a Delhi Stanley dealer - they maybe able to ship your steering wheel to BLR and get it back since it has to be machine stitched. I saw a sample once @ Pensee where even the central part of the wheel was covered in leather. At least for me, the difference between the hand-stitched cover and machine stitched one was significant ...

GPA,

I for one have found my steering wheel to be very comfortable after putting the MGA leather cover in my Alto.

Lambuhere - Progrip is available at most leading accessory shops in BLR - try any one - JC road will be a tad cheaper if you want to undergo the parking woes.
