I have a nice cool bit to hold untill AC cools the car down.

Well over here in the UK we dont have that problem too often Alan

Hi,

If you already have a 3 spoke steering wheel, can you retro-fit a multi function SW? I mean is all the wiring in place and is all that is needed is the ECU reprogramming??

Cheers

Hi
You will need the switch set.additional wiring and a clutch switch for the cruise control, the full kit takes around six hours to install

This might be of interest or help to anyone thinking of buying one of these and having it posted to them

I believe the only difference between R50 and R56 is the unclipping of the airbag

Hi Chris. I have a two spoke steering wheel on my 06 reg ONE convertible and I want to upgrade to a 3 spoke version. Do JCW still do a 3 spoke steering wheel for my model? If they do what will it cost? I believe I also need a replacement airbag . If JCW ( preferred ) is not available what are my options ? It is a standard steering wheel with no controls on it.

Regards

Ryan

Hi Ryan,
You have 3 options, the first would be a JCW 3 spoke steering wheel,new airbag and carbon wheel spokes this would cost £525.00 inc vat and discount,(plus fitting)
option 2, would be the JCW steering wheel new airbag and standard silver spoke trims this would cost £475.00 inc vat and discount,(plus fitting)

(i have the last 3 JCW leather steering wheel in stock as they are no longer available)

or option 3 would be the Cooper S leather 2 spoke wheel with thumb grips,this will be a like for like change on your car and cost £160.00 inc vat (plus fitting)
Hope this helps
