Nice but is that engine or gearbox oil pouring out from under the car?

Sounds great - looking forward to seeing the results! The steering wheel is the only thing I'd change on mine ... the stock black leather one is very comfortable but looks so boring! Even the one on my Vito gets a chrome star in the middle

As an aside ... monoblock means in one piece, so "Monoblock 2 Piece Wheels" is a contradiction in terms!
