I couldn't see any difference (unless yours is heated), I swapped my SE one for a M Sport one without any modification, they are interchangeable.... so even the other steering wheel will keep you mobile if thats all they have to lone out.
I did the same last year, bought a Msport wheel for the later paddle shifters and just swapped it all. I'm now thinking of sending the standard SE wheel off for trimming and then swapping the later shifters off the Msport one onto it when it comes back as I quite like the trims on the SE as they go with the ally trim in my car. I did think the paddles was interchangeable but then suddenly thought what if they aren't lol. I was just trying to get it all sorted without having to take the Msport off again just to check the paddles.

The paddles are interchangeable also, heres a video on swapping them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgnPs4RMUJk

Where did you get the flat bottom from out of interest? Also looking to get a royals recover but like the idea of this.
Yes it an option Royal offers...I know others poo poo it but I really like it...gives a bit more room when you clamber in n out plus looks cool IMHO..each to their own..

Agreed I prefer the flat bottom as well, adds a touch of individuality.

Anyone know how long it's taking Royals to get back in touch with quotes at the moment?

I submitted a query on the website but needed a faster response so sent him a WhatsApp and he came back literally within 10 minutes and then we had a chat on the phone and then I ordered a god damn wheel hahaha. Arriving end of the month ready for Nurburging!

Well I submitted my query on the website a week ago and nothing, sent him a whatsApp on Friday and still nothing. Looks like i'll have to try and phone him instead. My spare wheel is stripped and ready to send off, just need him to answer me.
