Hot Chocolate Steering Wheel Cover

So when I got my Clubman I ordered the Hot Chocolate Steering Wheel and the dealer said that it could not be installed in an automatic because of the "paddles." I know there are a couple options (like Wheelskins for example) of companies who sell steering wheel covers.

My question is, is there a company that sells one with a brown that closely matches the hot chocolate interior of my Clubman?

I believe the Wheelskins "tan" leather would be a very close match to the Hot Chocolate leather. I purchased a black & tan cover for my Miata steering wheel and the color was definitely more brown than tan by a long shot; think football pigskin color. Though it didn't match my light beige leather (which I knew they didn't have from the start), it blended very well with the wood accents in my car and I loved it. Their quality and customer service is excellent and I know they'll happily send you free samples of whichever colors you want to consider. HTH.
