Hello!

I was in the market for a new(er) Mini but things have changed so I'm going to keep working on the one in the garage - a 2004 S.

I have two things I want to work on - the steering wheel and the flares.

1. How do you install an aftermarket steering wheel and retain the cruise controls? I have installed a steering wheel before, but I need to hang onto the cruise.
2. The car has wide wheels and tires on it - they required that the stock fender flares/arches be trimmed. They now need replacing and I'd rather goi with wider flares/arches than trim a new set. Does anyone know of any good sets of wider flares?

As always, thanks for any help.

 

Our ECS steering wheels, you just swap things over as they retain the factory wheel design. Just a thicker wheel with different coverings and material.

 

I saw them and really like them - but I need to correct airbag and control modules. Do you have those as well?

<edit:> I didn't explain myself - I despise the 2 spoke wheel and what to go to something "sportier" with 3 spokes

 

Yes, you can get a used donor airbag for 7/2004+ R50 R52 R53 as we don't carry those. Hazmat thing.

Then get those controls for each pad. You will need those updated connections wires.
