    as long as the unit doesn't sit further back than the back of the wheel, you should be golden!

    I love making things fit that weren't supposed to. Like, when I mounted the R56 JCW tach light to the R53 steering column. People were like 'WTF???" :lol: LOVE that reaction....

    I used the Xacto to cut a "guide" in the right side of the JCW wheel to match the one in my OEM wheel, and used 3M trim tape and gorilla tape to secure the connector/wiring loop in the bottom where it clips into the OEM wheel. Should be G2G.

    Had forgotten that my lower wheel trim piece had a scratch, hidden by my wheelskin. Either need to paint or replace. Never done. :)

    Nope - actually a lot easier than I had expected. Thanks to Richard for trailblazing... a lot less scary.
