I just installed my custom steering wheel (thicker, softer leather, custom stiching) on my 2009 Clubman S automatic. I wanted a thicker wheel like the JCW wheel but didn't want to pay $500 and lose my shift paddles. I also didn't want to be without my MINI for a week or so while some out-of-state shop modified my stock wheel. Gerry at DSV sent me a replacement wheel (made to my specs), took me 15 minutes to swap with my stock wheel, and am sending them my stock wheel. DSV will provide this service for any MINI and their prices are very reasonable. For options and pricing you can contact Gerry at DSV at dsvettes@msn.com. The pics (which I accidentally attached to a new thread (I started accidentaly) in Countryman forum and can be viewed there) don't do it justice and its a 500% improvement over the stock wheel.
