Offline | steering wheel. just called my local mini dealer to ask the cost of a replacement steering wheel leather rim. my 03 mcs has the multi-function 2 spoke perforated leather rim with thumb grips, I wanted to either get a brand new rim, or upgrade to a new style 3 spoke steering wheel. 1. the mini dealer says that I can only by a replacement stering whell at a cost of £255.19 2. The mini dealer stated my mini is too old and wont take the new 3 spoke steering wheel! 'thoughts on a postcard please!!' can someone recomend a dealer that I could speak to that might be able to get a cost for a 3spoke steering wheel, or a more reasonably priced replacement rim for my existing wheel????? |

Offline | In a word, NO . To replace your 2-spoke with a 3-spoke you will need to replace the airbagas well as the wheel itself. I am in the same situation as I would like the JCW 3-spoke with carbon fibre inserts. I think Birds do some sort of re-trim on your existing wheel but that is over £400. ![]() Some people are like a Slinky ........ not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs |

Offline | ok so how much are we looking at for a new 3 spoke steering wheel and airbag module... i have definetly seen it done browsing other mini sites... what my dealer was telling me was that the 3 spoke wheel will not fit a pre 04 car and that the only way forward was to buy a complete 2 spoke wheel at a cost of 255+vat and fitting... didnt quite believe the dealer, as i remember having a 53plate (when brand new from the same dealer) john cooper works for a weekend trial, it had the new 3 spoke wheel, was the 'old 197' works so think they are trying to fob me off!!! |
