Can't believe I didn't spot this thread before. Brilliant colour and love those ducts.
You might have to show me how to add the CC to the new wheel once you've done it (for a few beer tokens of course!!).
Cheers
I've tested the loom and got the resistances needed, all I need is a wheel and to find some suitable small buttons now. I'll do a proper guide for it too.

im sure INFERNO will miss this, sure it stil great but was lovely when he owned it
What he did with it is very different to my plans, but it should be lovely when I'm done
He spent a LOT of money doing what he did, I have all the Mark Fish invoices, everything was done properly by him.

Collected this today, apparently the last one left in the country.
Was going to wait for a used one, but they are a decent price new from my local Renault dealer anyway (a couple £ more than wests but I didn't need to pay for post so worked out slightly cheaper). When it gets tatty looking i'll get it retrimmed, but going to keep it standard for now.
I've ordered the boss and bits to make cruise work, don't know if I dare cut the wheel up though. I've ordered some buttons, but I think they are going to be too big. I have seen some I might use at maplins, but would need to engineer a way to fit them to make them look a little more discreet. So for the time being at least, I'll lose cruise

Have they stopped making them now or something?

Don't think so, just the last one in the UK warehouse.
Ah fair enough. I always wanted one for mine but never got round to it.
Luckily the standard GTI wheel is awesome

True. I do like the sporty VAG wheels.
Got a little present from Brian and fitted it today

Little update on the cruise control situation.
Last night I decided I didn't want to drill my nice new wheel, so instead decided to design some sort of plate for the buttons to sit in, similar to BIGASH's in his project thread.
I drew something quickly, (I won't post it as i'm no technical drawer
). I've already sent it to Dan@MAD on here to see if it's something he could make for me.
My buttons came today, pretty happy with them:
And finally, the steering wheel on the mock up of the plate with the buttons roughly where they would be:

Didn't realise you'd bought another one Mike! Looks great I remember seeing this car with Dan at the first Llandow
I've got a set of grey xenons I need to sell and am fairly local so let me know if you want to get some I'm always over at York as the other half lives there so can meet up etc. I will look for the centre caps when I get home later!

Little update
Dan@M.A.D is making me up a plate for the cruise buttons, unfortunately it might not be fitted for a while as I go back to Uni a week on Sunday so it will have to be when I get back home at the end of May
But, these turned up. Bought them on Gumtree (which is dodgy as if you ask me) but they did arrive, tyres are all as good as shot and a center cap is missing and another is past it's best but still seemed an alright buy for £195.
Getting them refurbished in an Audi matt grey. Need to machine out the spigot rings too. The condition of them isn't too bad, they are just marked all around the rim of each wheel, most of the wheels are fine over the rest of the face.
Tyres wise, can't decide whether to move my current tyres over (but they are budgets) or get some GSD3's while they are on offer at camskill. Probably go down the GSD3 route. I did also consider dropping to 195s and fitting continentals but the price is similar to GSD3s in 205.

So I needed 2 centre caps, which is over £30 for official OZ ones.
I instead decided to buy 4 new blank caps of the same diameters (inner and outer), some di-noc and some stickers from N2grafix. Total cost about £16
Made them up today:
Official on the right, mine on the left
And with their first coat of lacquer drying:
Will do another couple of coats and fingers crossed they fit the wheels when they are done on Tuesday!
Not quite as good as OEM but when fitted should look as good as and less than 1/4 of the price!

Got the wheels back today, quite difficult to photograph the colour.
They are lighter than I would of liked, which could be down to the dodgy foreign forum I got the RAL code from, they look even lighter in the pics for some reason.
Will have to wait and see what they look like on, which should of been today but City Link f**ked up on the delivery of my tyres.
