THEPARTPILOT
MINI Cooper / One R50 Black 2-Spoke Steering Wheel with Chrome Trim
Reference / MPN: 1513083 | Source listing identifies R50 and 2001-2006
Premium Factory-Produced Replacement Steering Wheel
This listing is for a MINI black 2-spoke steering wheel with chrome-effect trim, identified in the source listing by manufacturer/reference number 1513083.
The steering wheel forms the driver's primary mechanical interface with the vehicle's steering system. It mounts at the steering column and transfers the driver's rotational input into the steering assembly.
Because steering-wheel assemblies may also interface with vehicle-specific safety and electrical equipment, visually similar wheels must not automatically be assumed interchangeable.
Please compare the supplied item photographs, spoke design, trim arrangement, rear mounting/interface details and every visible stamped or moulded reference number before ordering.
Why Choose a Factory-Produced Used Component?
A high-quality used factory-produced component was manufactured to operate as part of the vehicle's original engineering package. Correct materials, mounting geometry, interfaces and construction are particularly important on components connected to driver controls and vehicle safety systems.
Low-cost imitation components can vary considerably in material quality, finish, dimensions and durability. Choosing the correct original-production used component can provide excellent value while keeping an existing vehicle in service.

The information above reproduces the vehicle/chassis information associated with the source listing. It must not be interpreted as confirmation that this steering wheel fits every vehicle manufactured under those model names or throughout the complete date range.
For a steering-wheel or airbag-related component, fitment should be verified using the vehicle VIN and the applicable manufacturer parts catalogue/reference number before installation.
3-Door / 5-Door & Body Variant Check
Similar MINI models and body variants can share styling cues while using different components or electrical/safety-system configurations.
We do not infer 3-door versus 5-door compatibility from appearance alone. Confirm your exact vehicle variant and VIN-derived part reference before purchase.
Will Not Fit / Exclusion List
This item should be treated as not confirmed compatible where any of the following apply:
- Your VIN-derived manufacturer part reference does not correspond with the listed component/reference.
- Your steering-wheel spoke design or rear mounting interface differs from the photographs.
- Your airbag, wiring, switches, connectors or steering-column interface differs.
- Your vehicle is a visually similar MINI chassis or generation not specifically verified for this component.
- Your vehicle underwent a specification or equipment change that altered the steering-wheel assembly.
- The stamped/moulded identifiers on your existing component conflict with those shown in this listing.
No additional chassis, facelift, engine-code or body-style exclusions are asserted here without VIN/OE catalogue evidence.
Where Does This Part Fit?
The steering wheel is positioned directly in front of the driver and mechanically interfaces with the steering column. Correct alignment and installation are essential.
Professional Installation Recommended
Steering-wheel removal can involve the vehicle's supplemental restraint / airbag system. Incorrect handling can cause injury, component damage, warning lights or improper restraint-system operation. Installation should be undertaken by a suitably qualified automotive technician following the manufacturer repair procedure for the exact VIN.
Typical Professional Workshop Process
- Confirm the vehicle VIN and correct replacement component reference.
- Follow the manufacturer procedure to make the vehicle and restraint system safe for service.
- Record steering-wheel alignment and ensure the road wheels are correctly positioned.
- Remove the applicable trim and restraint-system components using the manufacturer procedure.
- Disconnect applicable electrical connectors without damaging terminals, wiring or clock-spring components.
- Remove the steering-wheel retaining hardware using the specified workshop method.
- Remove the existing steering wheel without disturbing the steering-column/clock-spring alignment.
- Compare mounting interfaces, connectors and identifiers before installing the replacement.
- Install and tighten all hardware to the vehicle manufacturer's VIN-specific torque specifications.
- Reconnect the applicable electrical and restraint-system equipment in accordance with manufacturer instructions.
- Carry out diagnostic checks and confirm correct steering, warning-light and installed-equipment operation.
Typical Workshop Equipment
- Appropriate trim-removal equipment
- Correct steering-wheel/fastener tools for the VIN-specific vehicle
- Calibrated torque wrench
- Manufacturer repair information
- Suitable diagnostic equipment for post-installation checks
- Appropriate workshop safety equipment
We also offer a professional fitting service directly at our repair facility, subject to workshop availability.

♻️ Give Quality Vehicle Parts Another Life
Choosing a high-grade recycled vehicle component helps extend the useful life of materials and reduces demand for unnecessary replacement-part manufacturing. Reusing serviceable automotive components can reduce material consumption, packaging demand and manufacturing waste associated with producing an entirely new replacement. 🌍♻️
Every suitable component reused is another opportunity to keep valuable automotive materials in circulation rather than prematurely treating them as waste. Your purchase also supports a UK automotive parts business and the people involved in dismantling, testing, storing, packing and supplying reusable components. 🚗🔧📦
Thank you for choosing THEPARTPILOT. 💚
Vehicle registration, model name, production year or visual similarity alone is not sufficient proof of fitment for a safety-critical steering component.
Verify your VIN and VIN-derived manufacturer part reference against this component before ordering.
