"That being said, the easiest way to determine the difference is to look at the slot in the center of the new wheel. If the slot curves as seen in Figure 1, it can be used on the Mk 1 2002-07 MINI's".
I'm a bit confused on this bit. Can this be viewed without taking the steering wheel off. Fig 1 doesn't show much of what to look for.
