Sorry if this has been covered before, but a (fairly lazy) search yeilded no answers. Can MFSW controls be fitted to the JCW Carbon/Alcantara 3 spoke? I'm looking at upgrading my R53 interior with some JCW parts but I don't want to lose my MFSW controls (currently the bus-inspired 2 spoke) So can i go JCW or just a standard 3-spoke with the JCW bottom-spoke CF cover?

Thanks IA

I did exactly that. Its an expensive but simple enough mod.
