Finally finished the interior of the whale....

[Howard]

Ok chaps, here is the interior of the whale now i have finally fitted the Isotta wheel that i bought about 5 months ago......

I also took the opportunity to fit a set of 'love 'em or hate 'em' chrome vent surrounds....

Wheel feels good ........

What do you think..... the only thing i am contemplating is a set of plasma dials, but i am having trouble finding a set that is A) in MPH and B) reads to 140mph not 160mph.... but no rush....

What about the shiny SLK pedals Howard?

Looking nice mate, glad you like it. One question though, does the steering wheel cover any of the dials at all? Ie, can you read the speedo all the way round without it being obstructed?

Very nice Howard. I've been thinking of getting the chrome heater vent surrounds too, nice to see them autually on a car. :bannana:

Love the wheel. Really like it. Shame you can't quite get wheels that nice anymore with airbags.

Glad you like the chrome! Hehe I found something positive to say about it! Just pulling your leg.

Oh yes, I stand corrected.... he'll be just fine

Howard, that looks good. Don't do the plasma dials they won't suit the car.

 

[SG CL500]

looks good H, like the wheel (unusually for after-market jobbie) - chrome not my thing (not my car) - I'd leave plasma to the realsm of TV tho.

I sent them an email when I was looking at some for the C180. They are available in MPH.

Just got back from Cornwall and have discovered that as long as i can see the bottom of the speedo needle pointing straight up its 70-75 mph....(can only see about 10mm of the speedo needle LOL )

Steering wheel obscures a LOT of the speedo ( about 40mph to 100mph ) but looks too good and feels too sexy to take off.....

Car feels a lot more sure footed and positive with the new shocks and new wheel.... had some fun on the cornish country roads that were slick with mud from tractors , some real Colin McRae moments.....
