Treated myself to a new GT wheel, is so much nicer than the standard one!

Pretty impressed with how much difference they make it look! want to space the rears out 20mm each side to make them look a bit better and so they run flush with the arches

Got a new steering wheel, so much nicer to drive with and looks amazing too. seen that quite a few people like these in there polos :p

Dont plan to be selling them any time soon :L but will let you know if i do mate

Payed 60 quid for them, got the rears too. just havnt put them in yet :)

I cant have the GT ones, as my head bounces off the roof haha!!

I like your style mate, all 5 wheels the same as mine! see what i did there? :lol:

If you can find an IMG code for your photos after you've uploaded them, paste that instead and they'll appear the proper size.

The rado seats look good too, are you going to try and fit the rear bench? Does it have headrests? I've been scoping a black rado interior but found nothing local yet :/

  • Author

Haha! i got the idea of the steering wheel off iscariot, its so much better with the seats! and not too sure about fitting rear bench tbh, was more thinking about getting a grey GT one, as i have to take the bench out to put the bike in lol :p

And thanks man, IMG code it is :)

Pressed plates from inters! good show, shame about the weather though!
