Thanks guys! I knew I wanted this steering wheel before I got the car itself...

The JCW wheel looks way better than the lame original two-spoke one.

Amazing photography and a well documented build so far, look forward to where it goes.

It took a while to get everything together for the steering wheel, but managed to score all parts from the Dutch Mini-forum, apart from the steering wheel itself, that I got from a German dealer.

#0 old situation


#1 disconnected battery


#2 old steering wheel without airbag


#3 old airbag


#4 no steering wheel


#5 difference old/new


#6 new steering wheel without airbag

#10 working backlight, no error messages, radio/cruise/horn works, didn't test the airbag


Now let's get some work done on the rest of the interior...

It's been a while, but didn't do that many to the car. Here's some highlights...

Got some clear/red taillights:


Fitted a carbon dash:


Took some pictures:


Drove it:


Got a PlayMini exhaust:


Fitted some tiny winter tires on 15's:


Added yellow driving lights and front mud flaps to feed the hat0rzzz:


Collected some dirt:


Plowed some snow:




And right now I'm upgrading the interior some more with black/Alcantara/carbon:


After that it's time for some exterior updates!

Love the photos man and I like how you shoot/document little things like getting an alignment. Makes for a cool thread. Thumbs up!
