Maybe a bad news for those of you wanna fit the shifters on your "normal" m sport steering wheel,

If you want to have the shifters behind your wheel, you must have the "SMG" sport steering wheel,
as it has holes behind the wheels in order to fit the shifters.
I am not entirely sure, maybe other peeps will know

Yeah I am not entirely sure because the steering wheel i bought has got "holes" to fit the paddle shifters..... Unless you can get a hub for the paddles to attach to then im not sure if its possible?

I emailed the guy from that website and he has confirmed that he has the wiring harness. Perhaps its worth you emailing him and asking as well!!!

I looked at the website again, and it SHOULD work because you can choose "sport steering wheel" which is what you have as well as paddles. It may not be the SMG paddles though...

I would say keep it silver aswell, unless you wanna black out your car.
If you want your wheels in black, you got to do the grilles, shadowline and drop it aswell

What suspension are you running at the moment?

Mo, no. Do not save money! Pursue in getting paddles! You will appreciate it if you do some hard work/research to find out that your wheel can fit it!!!

I have just paid for my wiring harness, but will need to wait 2 weeks as he is making it from scratch! I will email him and ask him if you can do it too! ha ha
