Sorry for all the questions.
Thanks for any help.

My car had a steering wheel with paddles swapped into it after a mistake in the yard (never quite told why, and it was nearly 3 years ago, but I think somehow a manual car was delivered with paddles on the wheel). They work fine - just needed to be activated.
As for the chipping - I wouldn't. I'd wait for the warranty to expire first, since it's likely to be one of the most used parts of the car... (sorry if my cynicism is showing through.. but I reckon the warranty repair bill for my car would be over $10K).
