Carbon fiber vents? That interior has more carbon fiber than I have seen the cover for the air vents has anyone seen this for sale or is this again a one-off
That steering wheel is sweet! I'd totally be interested in a group buy if anyone figures anything out!
I'd Love one of those wheels as well. I've been talking to the makers and they have several styles. All alcantara, all leather, a combination of both as well as a carbon fiber version and more in the works. It's a German company and as you can imagine, being an import, they're not cheap. If there is enough interest I'd imagine they'd entertain the idea of a group buy or something similar.
I saw a flat-bottom steering wheel on M|U recently, but I think it was only being fabricated for drivers in Europe, no plans for bringing them stateside.
That wheel is from B&D in Germany, Battle Performance in the UK can get them for you..... It's like 750.00 US shipped and they have several versions.
Check out this thread, with gallery: http://www.minitorque.com/forum/f748/b-d-steering-wheels-28303/ Version with integrated shift light:
The shift lights are cool but I would hate for them to be there... What happens when you want to look at it while making a very sharp turn... you probably wouldn't be able to see it easily.
The slammed style is the only way to go for a coupe! They look so God awful with the stock ride height. Worse than the stock R56! This definitely makes me like it more, but then I step around to the boot and see that ba-donka-donk bootie and scratch my head saying, "What they hell were you thinking MINI!?"
:cornut: Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my Margi(08 R56 MCS/JCWm) resembles that remark(!) but seeing as how we're on the friendly M/A site where all(friendly) opinions are welcomed, I'll accept the authors opinion. Jason
I'll have to disagree with you there, shapely backsides are where it's at:biggrin5: I'd have to wear driving gloves non-stop, what the lifespan on an Alcantara steering wheel?
