Sparco SPC Steering Wheel Cover (D-Type, 35cm) for Peugeot 208 & 308 II – Black
Product description
Quick overview
A steering wheel cover is one of those small upgrades that can make day-to-day driving feel nicer. The Sparco Steering Wheel Cover SPC is designed as a vehicle-specific fit, with an anti-slip surface to improve comfort and grip. It’s also positioned as easy to install, so it’s the kind of accessory you can fit without turning it into a project.
On paper, it ticks the practical boxes: better grip when your hands get a bit sweaty, a more comfortable feel in use, and a straightforward fit. Where you need to be careful is that this is D-type and sized for 35cm, and it’s described as compatible with Peugeot 208 & 308 II—so if your car or steering wheel shape isn’t a match, it could look off or sit awkwardly.
What it’s for (and what you’ll notice)
This cover is meant to sit over your existing steering wheel, adding a layer between your hands and the wheel. The anti-slip design is the headline detail, because that’s what affects how controlled the steering feels—especially in normal UK commuting, morning rushes, or longer drives when your grip changes.
Imagine getting into the car on a cool morning. Your hands are just a bit colder and less “steady” than usual, an anti-slip cover can help maintain contact. It’s not going to replace proper driving technique, but it can take the edge off that slightly slippery feeling you sometimes get with bare wheels.
The “added comfort and grip” angle also tends to appeal to people who do a lot of city driving, where you’re adjusting hand positions frequently.
Key features that matter in everyday use
Where this cover makes sense is in the simple stuff you use constantly: grip, comfort, and practicality.
- Anti-slip for added comfort and grip: helps your hands sit more confidently on the wheel.
- Vehicle-specific fit: the idea is that it’s not a generic wrap that fights to stay centred.
- Easy to install: designed to go on without needing special tools or a long fitting session.
That said, vehicle-specific fit only really helps if your steering wheel is the right type and size. If you’re outside the stated D-type 35cm / Peugeot 208 & 308 II compatibility, you may end up with a cover that doesn’t sit as intended.

Who it suits (and who should be cautious)
It’s a solid pick if you want a steering wheel cover that feels more secure in-hand and is made for your specific steering wheel shape/size.
It makes sense if: - you drive a compatible Peugeot 208 or 308 II - your steering wheel is D-Type 35cm - you’re after comfort and grip with minimal hassle to fit
It might not be the best choice if: - you’re unsure your steering wheel is the right D-Type and 35cm size - you’re buying mainly for style—because the “vehicle-specific fit” matters most for how it looks and sits - you want a universal cover that will work across different wheel shapes (this one is clearly not aiming for that)
Keep in mind that anti-slip covers can feel different to a bare wheel—some people love the extra confidence, others prefer the original steering feel. It’s worth being honest about what you’re trying to improve.
Should you buy it?
If you have the right Peugeot model and your steering wheel matches the D-Type 35cm size, the Sparco SPC cover is the sort of sensible upgrade that can make daily driving feel a bit better—mainly through improved grip and comfort, without the faff.
Buy it if you want an easy-to-fit, anti-slip cover with a fit that’s intended to match your vehicle. Skip it if your steering wheel shape/size isn’t a match, because “vehicle-specific” only works when the compatibility actually lines up.
