That is sitting lovely, I like the colour combination with the wheels and paint.
That interior looks awesome too, the wheel really completes it!

I meant the steering wheel. Thanks a lot, now I'm thinking about how nice Ultralites would look on my car, I can't afford dis! |

Lol yeah the wheels are Ultralites UL48. The steering wheel is a Stoney Racing one. Great quality and very affordable. Unfortunately though I don't think you can get them anymore! Stoney Racing's website has been down forever and this particular wheel has been out of stock on in their ebay shop for a while. They do have something similar but it's a 350mm wheel where as mine is a 320mm.

Wow, those are cheaper than I thought. Does it feel good quality? I want one with decent metal spokes, like my old one from Nas on Nutz.

Yeah feels great. I've had a few different wheels. I decided to buy a decent one before for £60 off Driftworks and it was terrible. Flimsy and cheap materials! So then I got this and was very pleased, sturdy, well made and feels good!

Haha, funny you say that, as they were the ones who made that video discouraging people from buying flimsy crap wheels, showing how easily they bent. Ironic really. |

Don't get me started on that video! I've made a few comments on it before.....let's just say it's a joke!

Yeah I mean from memory, he really gives the cheap wheel some grief, and the decent wheel he doesn't.
It was basically just an advert for them to try and sell more of their steering wheels.

Made a hardtop liner and redid the arm rest to make it tidier! First time using a sewing machine.......not as easy as it looks! The hardtop liner could be better but I am very pleased with it. This is the new armrest which I think is much better.  Making the template for the hardtop liner was pretty damn hard! Got there eventually.  Cut out the material, I realised the shape needed to be a bit simpler to make the sewing easier.  So ended up with this!  Really hard to get a picture of it in the car, this doesn't really do it justice!  And arm rest in place.  Really want to get all black seats now! |

Love the quilted look, tempted to do it to mine.
Black seats would definitely fit in well, but the red works well too.

Almost forgot that this happened yesterday as well!  Sounds incredible on a drive by, can't really hear it when you're in the car though. Which I think I can live with, hopefully with the top down I'll be able to hear it. |

I'm looking at a Cobalt, great value for what you get.
Is it me, or is your tyre on the wrong way? The diagonal looks like it'd push water into the center of the tyre?
