Interior update:

Some members may remember I had a couple of threads about a steering wheel, that i bought 2nd hand and sent away to be re-trimmed, and here are a few pics of it finally fitted :)

I think it looks utterly superb, and lifts the interior even more....it also feels amazing, real quality leather was used, feels thicker, not like the standard leather which really is naff and thin...has a lovely leather smell to it aswell :)

Plus it's definitely unique, which i like too ;) ....I know it'll get grubby, which will be noticeable on the Cream sections, but i will keep giving it a wipe with leather cleaner and leather cream to keep it looking and feeling its best.

I dont expect it will be everyones cup of tea, but all comments welcome :)

(and no i wasn't up at 7.56 am taking these pics, ive just not re-set the clock after the battery was off)

Thanks for looking.

Looks ok to me, matches the interior well and as you say may be a job keeping it clean, just wear gloves when your driving
Nothing succeeds like a budgie with nae teeth

A few more...

Managed to get it cleaned and waxed a couple of sundays ago, and took these just after i'd finished, really brought the shine back and I also love the way the sun pulls the Green out of it :)

and a small under-bonnet addition...


Before:

After:

I'd been wanting a different spark plug cover for a while as i was just fed up with having 'Ecotec' staring at me all the time whenever i opened the bonnet, plus people always say 'urh an Ecotec!' when they see it :(

I ideally wanted a Blue OPC one, but the prices of them is abit daft IMO, or a Red C18XE cover, but they are as rare as rocking horse poo, or could've painted my own, but risk it looking gash!....but browsing ebay the other day i found this stainless cover.

I know it doesnt match anything else in the engine bay, but im happy enough with it :)

Hope you like the pics :)
