The steering wheel is SPA Technique with integrated shift lights built into the wheel. I believe they dont make them anymore but you can check with them directly by searching spatechnique on the net. The are UK based but do have a US rep.

As well they dont make an adaptor from the wheel to the worksbell so I had to have one custom fabricated. Another $250
If you can get one not drilled you should be able to use a standard Bini adaptor to use it.

Two weeks sounds pretty ambitious. The details in your build are incredible. You're so close. Getting pretty excited about a test drive yet?

I have an extra 2 sets

babymitemini is all done. Its my daily driver so I didnt do too much to it just a few things. Just have M7 AGSR, M7 coilovers, M7 rear diffuser, Exhaust Depots up pipe, down pipe, HKS BOV, Hotchkis upper and lower endlinks, Hotchkis rear sway bar, Fully blacked out, M7 mesh grill upper and lower, Joey modded headlights, painted skirts on the JCW kit. Thats all not too much

The baby is fine going on 5 months, just starting to get some chompers. Thank you for asking. Progress is happening at a brisk pace. I think Im going to make it.
