  • I fitted a new steering wheel to my Mini Roadster JCW. My mate Sam at SMPS2012 sent me a selection of wheels to choose from and while I was at Mulgari I asked my good buddy Darren to fit it for me. I mean...how hard can it be ?!

    Wow. I didn't know there is alot to know there was so much in replacing a steering wheel with a airbag. I'm glad you had a professional do the work.🤙🤙

    Hi ped yes you are absolutely correct in saying that you should always have a person who definitely knows how to do things like changing steering wheels where air bags are there

    Love the dawgs. I would have gone with option 1. The wheel is the only part of a car you are in constant contact with. Hand sanitizer, sunscreen and just daily usage all leave something behind. It's just not ideal.

    This has just reminded me of long ago. I’m in the north of Scotland, but had to go on a week day training course in England. This was late 80s when car theft was a huge thing in the news, but not where I live. I drove to Manchester, booked into the allocated hotel and took the steering wheel from my car into the hotel bedroom. 19mm socket if I remember correctly.

    If I replaced a Mini wheel, the number one thing on my priorities would be a thinner rim. Mini wheels, like all BMW wheels, are designed to be comfortable in the hands of an orangutan. I love the steering wheels on the MX5 and 86/BRZ. I have no clue what started this thicker is better thing.

    Certainly different to the Mini I used to ride in with the interior pull wire to open the door and the sliding windows. Very posh. That wheel you've installed is the nicest part of that interior!

    Steering wheel looks great, especially like the airbag finish... The illegal number plate however does not... £1000 fine, MOT fail, VOID insurance as the number plate insured is not displayed correctly and legally and it looks really silly... oh and its the law... other than that it looks good...

    I thought you had a carbon venturi air intake system in your Mini but I guess it is the only bit of interior carbon. It looks good on the wheel and I think you made the right choice. The next thing you need is the red rally mud flaps.

      Would have gone full alcantara without the centre stripe. Gold stitching to tie in the exterior styling. Pretty subtle. Joe Achilles got it right with his wheel on the BRG M3T

    How's your driver's seat wearing? Is there play in the seat back? Can you feel it moving forward under braking? I have the same seats in my r53 with this issue and can't find a fix for it.

    Personally I won’t have any alcantara on any future vehicle. It attracts dirt like a magnet and is impossible to keep looking good…
    Currently have alcantara steering wheel and shifter knob from factory on my JCW Roadster, but I’d swap them both in a heartbeat as I really don’t like the stuff.
