Hello all,

I've just joined so please excuse if this has been covered a million times before. I have looked but can't seem to find. What a fantastic site BTW!

I am building a JCW for order and have a question about a couple of accessories. The dealer (only one so far) is quoting over Mini list for everything. Items like CF shift ****, door handles and emergency brake, scuttle and mats I can make an argument that there is little or no labor to install so they should at least match internet prices I have found (right?).

But in the case the CF dash and leather sport steering wheel where more labor is required I don't know what to offer. The wheel for example with a Mini list of $537, I have seen it on the internet for $371. The dealer wants $641 which I think is crazy! Am I off base here? Any thoughts on these two items is greatly appreciated. I don't mind them making a profit but I have to think on most items they could sell it for the internet price including labor and still be OK?? Otherwise I could order the parts separately and look at posts here on how to install.

Thanks, I am looking forward to being an educated Mini owner with the help of NAM.
