    What next

    OK started me off on changing minor bits of my car interior. Started off with a gear knob, now changed the handbrake, pedals and steering wheel. Took brute force to get the old one off, needed a sledge hammer! LOL! Blew a couple of fuses as the new horn push shorted on something. Nothing some black tape couldn't sort out. Sweet.

    So, exhaust next?

    Or a new car? LOL!

    eBay has been helpful, once I know what I would like. Got a half decent steering wheel and boss kit for just over half the RRP!

    Sports exhaust with cat back would be sweet. Just make sure you don't get a chavtastic one that got a diameter of about 7"

    Well if you saw top gear (last one of the series) you might like the new car think it was by peugoet or citroen which you could change the colours of all the plastics inside at a whim. Just go down the garage and buy your alternate colours.

    The question is not really whether you need them or whether its simply the modding of the car that you like (which it sounds like it might be) - if so it doesn't necessarily matter, i'd just be careful what changing things like a steering wheel might do to your insurance.

    STUPID as it sounds, but if you got into an accident and an investigation came along and looked at your car and found what the insurance company might claim are modifications you might find you have no insurance?.

    Worth double checking maybe??.

    90 degrees? I always knew you were nuts Zak! It feels weird when I go to flick the indicators on, they are further back! Wheels isn't entirely straight though ... not too much one can do about that. Anyways, me happy
