Spot the difference

[AnubisZed]

Morning all,

A new little addition to my Z was added yesterday afternoon. Been after a proper one for a while now, although this is the M-Sport version these are few and far between so I snapped it up when I found it....

I installed the heated wheel last year when I got the chance to do a few retrofits all at the same time. I'd lined up getting the proper (non M-Sport) wheel, but the guy selling it suddenly disappeared off line and I've never seen him on-line since So I bought an E93 wheel instead and fitted it up. It was in a really bad state, but I gave it a full refurb and, although it's not perfect, it's been great for the last, almost, year now.
Just realised I don't have a photo of the E93 wheel so screen grabbed this one...

So out with the old and in with the new
Retrofitting a heated steering wheel is a very easy and straightforward job to do that requires NO coding, the difficult part is finding the wheel. So if anyone fancies a heated wheel I'll be selling this as a complete kit complete with everything including a plug-n-play loom.

Will look even nicer when I take the digital cluster out and re-fit my retrofitted cruise control cluster, so anyone fancies the digital cluster then give me a shout (Only refitting the cruise cluster because I went to a lot of trouble and expense to fit that last year)

Impressive work.

You installed a heated M wheel on your non-M Zed ?

I’m up to talk about the digital cluster.

Yes I know Will probably remove the black trims and replace them with my original silver (non-M-Sport) ones anyway, I just didn't bother yesterday.

Even the M Sport model comes with aluminium dash trim with that black steering wheel so although yours is not an MSport, it does not look as if it doesn't belong. By the way are the trims be it the silver from the standard car and the black from the M Sport interchangeable with either steering wheel? i.e. can I put the M Sport black trims on my standard steering wheel?

The black trims look fine to me. I couldn't understand the gist of the post. I love the heated wheel. Even though the San Francisco Bay Area has very mild weather, it's nice to push that button for 3-4 minutes on the nippy mornings. When I got the flat-bottom, I had to post it to Customs because they're the only ones that could retrim and keep the heated element.

The trims for the buttons are exactly the same but black. The lower centre trim fits the same, but the M-Sport one is a single piece whereas the standard is a two piece. I do like the black so may spray my iriginal centre trim.black and sell the M-Sport one (they sell for quite a lot ofmoney for some reason)

Because it has the coveted M logo. Anything with an M logo price goes up.
