I am considering changing my steering wheel but i see that those people who changed to an aftermarket steering and added the new hub that there is a space around the entire hub that is open. Is that with all aftermarket wheels or do i have to create some plastic piece to cover that opening because i don't like that. Please help.

I had some scraps of CF left over from another project . If you do a search for Carbon Fiber you should be able to find a supplier that can sell it to you in hopefully a small sheet. It is getting REAL hard to find. The door edge trim you can get from any auto parts supply house like Kragen's or Auto Zone. It is the push on U shaped plastic for the edges of the doors . It is a type of chip guard I beleive. I chose the flat bblack. It has a built in adhesive to is is a easy install. Hope this helps.

here's mine
Once you have the JCW wheel you really feel the difference (leather, the wheel is thicker, better grip,....)
To me one of the best modifications i have (together with the JCW Sparco's)
If you don't have the 3 spoke wheel, you also have to buy the airbag module. Then it wil be rather expensive.....

as my friend Paris Hilton would say
that's HOT
Hello,
When I got my new 05 MCS, having had an 02 MC previously, I was MOST disappointed to find that there was a new design MFSW.
One of my favourite features of the MC was the MFSW with the radio/cd player control buttons ON THE BACK of the steering wheel.
I was horrified about the silly little circle on the front of the new wheel. I have EIGHT fingers and two thumbs. Why would I want to operate everything with one thumb, when I have several fingers??!!
So, I cruised around and through Ebay, found someone who could get an old type wheel for me from Germany, and also in Beige/black to match the interior of my MINI.
Here is the result - I LOVE IT!!!
