Hi all,
I have just ordered a DS/B MCS arriving in jun04, just wondering whether the standard steeling wheel come with the prominent thumb moulding or do i have with specify it when i order it?

Cheers

You'll get the thumb grips.

They're SO good it's untrue, for such a simple addition to the "regular" wheel.

Thank you so much ~~ still got a month away until i get my first mini !! can;t wait

I haven't got the thumbgrips or driven a MINI with them. It would be interesting to feel the difference

It should have the thumb grips. I think they have been standard for about 1 year now.

O he doesnt? I thought he was the main smurf thats in the cartoon... the one that smurffet likes...

ScottyB · May 3rd, 2004, 08:29 AM

The Jackal smurf. No name, no identity. Kills and can never be traced.

Yep Scotty you'll get the thumbgrips, and I agree with Paul, the 2 spoke wheel has gone from something I would really consider replacing to something that I could not live without.

Also think with this change and the perforated leather that the wheel is a bit thicker too ... vast improvement on the first effort IMO.
