Sweet - and I bet you can polish the metal bits to help them match whatever else you have in the cabin.

Are the controls close enough now for your wee fingers ?

Dropped the airbag cover into CID this morning, will see how it turns out.

Nice looking work past work from their website :

I'm no expert but feck it - i'm going to voice my opiniion anyway - I'm sorry guys but i don't like it. Looks a little too 'luxurious' for me. Prefer a nice neat racing style wheel. I don't think it really suits the interior or the 'feel' of the interior of the car if you know what i'm trying to say. Maybe it's a female thing but i'm going on instinct - I think it needs to stay in the mk3! Sorry

Shoudn't think there's any need to apologise for having a different point of view.

I kinda thought that too on first look. For some reason those seat covers have changed my mind

hhhhmmmm... the seat covers! Don't know what to think or say about them. Still trying to digest them! I'll grant that they're different, a little funky but not sure if they're sitting right with me.

Thats a past job of theirs, funky is right.

yeah, I def know what you mean re "feel". I'm in the process of changing it, going for RBMAC (Retro But Modern-ish And Comfy). ;-)

Sorry lad but it makes the interior look like a cheap nasty yanky yokey.

Got the recovered airbag cover back today :

Sweet. Is it stuck on or is it removable??

Removing a bolt on each side allows it to be removed.

I think it looks great, if you're selling it Steve, let me know!

How much work was involved in fitting it?
