I wish they work with Automatic trany's paddle shift.

 

Too expensive if you ask me. I already had my spokes done by Rogue Motorsports here in AZ, I was just wondering who else provides them and for how much.
That UK site shows a carbon covered gas cap for 180 pounds. I had Rogue do mine for $95.00 and then I recently sold it to a local guy and am having Jim do a carbon kevlar one for me, I'll be posting some pics when I get it.

 

here's my JCW steering wheel ........ with only the center cf insert.



i want / need the other 2 cf insert. But will they match? We'll have to wait and see.

 

Looking good...thats the way I am going

 

You should definitely check with Rogue, you can PM him here or email him, the wheel just doesn't look complete without the other two inserts in carbon. You may even be surprised at the cost. Look for Rogue Se7ens or email Jim at roguemotorsports@gmail.com, there have been some really positive comments about his work on this site.

 

Thanks minirob2, will do!

 

Parts look first class...web site is weak and these parts are very expensive with the exchange rate USD vs. BP

 

Any one else recently add the alcantara wheel? Impressions?

 

Nice Job! Looks Impressive.

 

Have it, one of my favorite mods, feels wicked. If you're pinching the pennies, the Whalen shift **** was a bit better value per dollar, since it's generally 1 hand on each, but I would never own another Mini without either of them.

The Alacantra feels a lot like real suede, but seems to be holding up better, absolutely no wear marks after a few months of daily use. If anyone else in the area gets one, I'd be happy to install it for you, takes about 5 minutes.

Love it !

 

I have a launch edition 09 JCW with the Alcantra JCW steering wheel, after 1 year it still looks brand new, no wear at all. Like it so much I'm going to put one on the GP.

 

This mine, Carbon Fiber covered, look beautiful, also all three insert carbon fibers

 

All carbon fiber, Steering wheels plus inserts

 

that's not an alacantra wheel, nor is it a JCW, interesting custom job on the standard MCS wheel 'tho. Sorry mate, adding carbon fiber trim does not make it a JCW wheel.
The JCW wheel is fatter & softer than the standard wheel.

 

I never said was alcantrara !!! or JCW !!! you are just putting word on mine mouth !! I don't understand what is the point ?? Jealous?

I said: All carbon Fiber plus inserts

 

Hey mate! You need to wrap that air freshener in some carbon fiber, that sticks out like a sore thumb

 

See here I thought you were just ignorant to what the thread was discussing "JCW Alcantara Steering Wheel INSTALLED!"
If you want to bling out your interior w/ tons of carbon fiber look stuff, all the power to you, but you should start a thread like "Look at me !"

 

Whatever your said Master, That's good is a public site !!

 

Did you use a sharpie to blacken the buttons?

 

I've had it on my 2011 JCW tuned MCS for about a year. Much prefer this over the stock one. Only JCW interior bits I have are the steering wheel and shift ****, and I'd buy them both again without a hesitation.
