I used the Halfrauds stitch-on leather wheel cover. It took several hours and 2 broken covers before I got it done but it's luurrvely

Colour does go well with your interior tho.
Get a shopping list of things you can't afford, down both front wings, just in front of the doors and you'll have the fastest car in the world (don't forget to wear an Addidas baseball cap, slightly to one side or it won't work)

I fitted my new front spot light after finding a suitably small bike tool which fit into the 1 x 1 inch square space - looks miles better - but there is a dodgy connection because it only works when wiggled about with some force

I got an 'egg crate' grill coming soon as i dont really like this one.

Also got my turbo gauge coming soon, i got my pod to stick it in which should fit with not much work.

Also, i found some number plate surrounds, then realised after i bought them, that they also sell ones with black writing on silver (which looks loads better)

Pics will follow!

Have you got a link or something for the steering wheel cover, as mine is in need of some attention.

Thanks. There is some on ebay in claimed Italian leather for around £14.50 as well, so I think I'll get one shortly.

A picture of my old C70 t5 with the same grille, but I also upgraded to the later 2005 c70 lights and indicators. Well worth it imo.

Boost gauge fitted - yes, the pod looks crap, i know, i know!!!
fitted by myself and mostly my brother...

going to have to get a new gauge, this one is rubbish - it was £7 :/

Boosts at approx 13psi, which from what i read isn't too bad.

**Wobbly Dave** · Friday 13th April 2012, 23:21

I hate them. I conceded & fitted one but in the space under the single DIN stereo unit. The pods provided are always shockingly poor.

I was all for sticking wtih the android TORQUE app - but the lag is too much & I am still not 100% convinced by the numbers.
