Ah excellent. Did you get the group buy price?

I would be very grateful for a loaner wheel - I think someone else was doing that pass it around idea too weren't they? Or was that you?

Could the others on the group buy please PM me so I can give you the "code"/secret handshake for the group buy :) I've done a couple of you already :)

Also if you're quick, there's a groupon buy at the moment for £10 of credit for £2.50:

So you can post the wheel cheap too!

Cheers!

That's looks the muts nuts mate !! I'm going for that exact set up but with white stitching. Out of interest (as it's not listed) what was the total with the knob and gator ?

I went for the blue stitching to match the paint. Not finished with the gearknob yet, got a little finishing to do!

Total cost was £180, that's including delivery. Well worth it! I'm well happy!!

No point in doing the handbrake as the armrest is always down so you don't even really see it!!

It is very chunky yes, but it's an absolutely perfect fit for my hands! I prefer thicker wheels to skinny ones!! :lol:

Excellent! Looks great IMO. I'd have leather personally as that's that the rest of the car is (unless you're secretly planning a full retrim? :D) but as soon as I get your wheel (thank you!) I'll post mine off :)
