Looking good there Mervy..... Hmmm I know we spoke about the wheels but I am going to have to say to leave them gold, it's growing on me more everytime I see the pictures and even more so when I seen the car. I'll get a pint of my degreaser ready for you as well to bring to the next meet if you wish? Plus some tar remover.

Yes I defo like the wheels in gold Merv they add colour to the car which is a great contrast to white

Cheers Si I'm swaying towards keeping them gold too even though they're not the original wheels, it looks original but with a twist, if you know what I mean! If my brakes fitted under OEM wheels then I'd have them

Fitted my MY05 STi wheel today, so much nicer than the OEM Momo one, slightly smaller and feels great in suede

Looks tidy, did you get it trimmed yourself and if so do you mind telling how much - mine is looking a bit shiny and I need to decide whether to replace or retrim

It's nothing special so I'll probably get a new one. I'm toying with finding a four button one and cloning the controls from my PSI3 on to the wheel

That looks quality mate, how much of an *** is it to fit? Did you fit the clockspring for the horn/airbag too or just the wheel?
