It's a DAMD steering wheel.
To respond to the 3 PM's I've already had regarding selling the steering wheel, I'm afraid I already have a whole host of people interested but I will be offering to the buyer of the vehicle as an option if they want it; if they don't the original wheel will go back on and I'll put it up for a suitable sum.
Also have a Prodrive diff guard which I haven't fitted but buyer will get first refusal as ideally I'd like the car to stay together as is

Unfortunately my confidence in the car's engine has suffered a blow today, and whilst carrying out a compression test at a main dealer this morning for a potential buyer, checks confirmed no oil leaks or other issues with the fluid levels, but car was found to be low on compression on cylinder 2, hence I am immediately withdrawing it from sale whilst I consider selling the car as is or going for a forged build.
Bad news for both seller and buyer, I am genuinely gutted.
Update 20/11/2015
It appears the dealer test carried out X may have been at fault.
After speaking to several people it became clear that with a figure of 80psi on cylinder 2 the car would be knocking its **** off or misfiring or not performing - none of which were the case.
Subsequently a separate check was carried out the following day at a specialist which showed cylinder 2 to be within expected tolerances (over 50psi higher than the reading registered at the dealer)
The dealership are understandably concerned, have ordered a new calibrated tester and will be conducting a re-test on Tuesday.
I'll keep everyone posted but my suspicion is the car will get a clean bill of health...
