Is this possible? I am thinking about customizing my Mini to say CooperSpeed everywhere. Seats, door sills, ****(whalen style). Does anyone know if it is possible to change the center emblem on the steering wheel?

Anything is possible.....


why not remove the wheel and put on a MOMO style race wheel, then have the center customized to read what you want!

And no longer have an airbag, of course.

I'd be interested to hear if switching this out is possible otherwise, though. I put a couple of little gouges in mine before I figured out the best way to put The Club on my steering wheel.

Mine had a small ding when new and I added several with my watch band. My dealer offered to replace under warrenty. They had to replace the whole air bag assembly worth about $400 if I would have had to pay. Needless to say I take off my watch now.

The MINI badge is one of the the coolest things on the car!!! I recommend putting the Cooperspeed emblem on some previously unadorned area.

Yeah the emblem is cool, but I want my car to be me.

Of course it's possible...

and the club is almost useless.....You can snap a club in two in mere seconds...with a hollow pipe and your foot!

try a brake boot/stick/lock whatever they call it now
