Yeah I can get a few of these. Anybody interested fire me a pm and I will sort them out. It won't be next day delivery as i'm not making anything here, just helping people out.

Steering wheel looks good bud, had one fitted to mine, steering feels much more precise

Put two uniroyals on the front which has sorted a good portion of the terrible road noise from the autoguards that were fitted.
The rears are still autoguard but can live with that for the time begin as the are as new,also got the tracking done so my steering wheel now sits straight :D
Swapped the handbrake handle for a focus st170 leather one.

My first attempt of painting from a gun not really happy with the results but hopefully it turns out ok after a wet sand and polish.
