Steering wheel surround

[mini87]

Hey guys, the steering wheel material of my 03 cooper is badly worn with pieces constantly falling off. I think whoever had it last wore a lot of rings that wore away the wheel surround material as they steered, there is a lot of wear on the gearknob too . Any idea of how much a new steering wheel surround is? Is it a big job to fit? Its pretty unsightly

Best bet is to pick up a second hand good replacement steering wheel on eBay
I have a steering wheel fetish....LOL
I always replace the steering wheel for a better newer one on my cars
I picked up a new two tone replacement Park Lane special edition MINI leather one for about £80.

It's easy enough to fit once you know what to do as it involves the airbag do safety in doing the job is essential

Wow thanks Ferg, its going to be added to the to do list for sure! Did Ger fit the new wheel for your Yorkie?

I fitted it myself actually. Once you know what you're doing it's not a hard job but Ger would fit it no problem for you.
