BLU-BY-U

RedLine Accessories/Goods has been the best at doing Shift and e-Brake boots for quite sometime, and has gone into Headrest and Armrest covers, Door trim, Dashboards and Seatbelt pads. Now they have gone into the best thing yet, Steering Wheel Covers! They have done BMW's, Corvette's, Mustang's and several others, but had not gotten their hands on a 2 spoke MINI Steering Wheel. RedLine offers to make a product that they have not done yet for free if you send them what they need to make a template (prototyping) from. So I contacted them if they had a 2 spoke MINI Cooper Steering Wheel yet, and they had not, so I just had to send them my Steering Wheel. I gave them what I wanted it to look like and they are now finished. I have always wanted a JCW Steering Wheel for BLU-BY-U, but at $500 for the Steering Wheel and then a new airbag, since a 2 spoke JCW was never done, the cost was way tooooooo much. Instead of doing the half Leather half Alcantara, like a real JCW, I decided to have them do the whole Steering Wheel in Alcantara. The Top in Black Alcantara and the sides in Charcoal Alcantara and increase the thickness to match a JCW. So what they have made, at least to me, is a JCW Alcantara 2 Spoke Steering Wheel. Here are the pictures they sent me from their shop, more to follow along with an install write-up when I get it back in my hands.
