Thanks for your comments. Steering wheel is from a forum member called "Snappy" do a search, you'll find him. His work is exemplary....the wheel was £150 retrimming my current one
Bit of an update folks, car has been away for a week or so having the paint rectified. Got her back today having had the wheels refurbed and the paint issues taken care of. It was like being reacquainted with an old friend.....oooohh how I've missed my Trophy!
Also, had a delivery from K-Tec...
Small update, I have been otherwise engaged with work and stripping my 205!
Snappy steering wheel:
Very, very pleased.

After:
£10 kit off eBay! I'm not 100% happy with the end result but an enormous improvement.
Cheers for looking
Wanted Turinis as thats what the car is meant to be on. Coupled with the fact that I didn't like the 2118's that where on the car when I bought it. See the first picture :grinning:

Thoroughly enjoying the car! Although changing to 16" wheels from 15's has clearly thrown out the geometry as the wheel bearings are making a racket...replacements needed! Steering Wheel being sent to Snappy this weekend for a re-trim and should be going in for the paint in the next week to...
Agreed, but it's a second car for me. Won't use it daily so will put minimal mileage on it. Weekend toy, got a 205 mi16 for track use that I'm building. Might do a Nurburgring trip in her in the summer next year

annoying.....any ideas?
Love a Mk1, sent my Tungsten grey ph1 to Hill Power and it came back with 187bhp at the wheels! Absolutely rapid, sold it for £3,000 8 years ago! It sickens me to think what it would fetch now! Full of character and a piece of piss to work on.
Keep it! If I didn't have a 205 in the garage...
You snooze you lose I'm afraid pal....Just kidding.
I've been watching them for a while and they appear to have been creeping up in value, as cars go it seems a decent investment.
I'm not a fan of buying cars privately as a lot of people really do kid themselves. I got talking to the owner...
