hi there,

ive seen a MINI that I like, however one thing is putting me off it...the MINI badge on the centre of the steering wheel is a bit bent/damaged...

now i searched online at RealOEM.com Online BMW Parts Catalog but cannot find anywhere that sells just that little middle badge bit on its own, instead u have to buy the whole cover..

therefore, is it just a badge that is stuck on with glue? or how is it attached?

thanks..

Can you not ask themto change it, if that is what will clinch the deal then im sure they would.

its a private sale..but i jus wanted to know if it can b changed..? or is it screwed on or something to the steering wheel?

Replacing the badge involves replacing the entire air bag assembly. Mine was covered under warranty. I was told it was approx. a $900 part.

My 05 MCS is doing this.

Can I claim under the 'cherished' warranty?

The day I recieved my cherished car I noticed that this happened so I gave the dealer a call and they replaced it under warranty.

Good luck

You cannot just replace the badge as has already been said, its the whole air bag unit.

If it was at a dealers they'd probably swap it with one in another car to get the sale

the whole airbag unit was replaced..

I had this happen to my 05 cab... the whole airbag was replaced under warranty last week.
