Jaguar wood trimmed steering wheel question.

As the title kinda says, my '07 has the wood trimmed wheel, and I have really come to like it.
My key question was; Did this remain an option throughout the production life of our chassis?
I believe I have found the answer, which was "yes". Not sure what it cost a new owner to add on but the wheel sells for about $1300...
P.S.
Perhaps a more thought provoking question would be: How many different styles of steering wheels where used during our cars production run?

So with the key question answered, I have a follow-up for everyone: Should I swap steering wheels between my 07 and 2010, to keep the wood trim?
I know the wheels will swap with out issue (all functions are on both wheels), but I don't know about the lower spoke.
The 07 is painted plastic, where the 2010 has the black R logo.
If those are removable trim and interchangeable then I am certainly tempted...

Yes, the bottom spoke pops off and can be swapped. It is easier to do with the airbag off though.

Thanks, I've been pondering the same question, as I've looked at ads for some R's (to step up from my base model), but have been turned off by the lack of a wood trimmed steering wheel. Swapping wheels was a thought, but wanted to keep the 'R' logo in the R.

How did I get it on my '07? Was the Wood/Leather standard with the luxury pack?
