Default New wheel and paddle shifting at last!

Thanks to Duffy (for the wheel), Mattylondon and a scrapyard in Worseley (for the airbag as mine wouldn't fit).

This is how the car should have come from the factory.

Ha. The thought did cross my mind as I rewired the replacement airbag in place, battery disconnected or not. Felt a bit like Jack Bauer with another bomb and another coup d'etat to sort out.

Was it as easy as just changing the wheel ? No wiring ? Then coding.

Hi Simon. It was very easy. No additional wiring, and quick coding.
