I like the no power steering but im like 5,7 or 5,6 so not very tall and it can be a pain sometimes with the big wheel

Surely youd need the metal insert to restore them?

And those alloys look pretty nice mate! Hopefully you get them, they near you?

No i dont mind if the opel sign in just embossed i kind of prefer it to be honest. But the middle looks faded to me. I was thinking shoe polish but would that just rub off on my hands?

I do like those alloys :) they are abit away from me but i think they would be worth the spin.

Yeah it would partly come off but the little cracks etc and faded bits should take alot of the polish in i'd of thought,

Worrh it if you get wm

Sending a postal order for the wheel in the morning so should have it early next week hopefully. Im going to try shoe polish and hopefully it looks abit better :) just a random question, do you know what type of bulb light up the speedo as 1 has blown on me (non rev gauge model incase it matters)

EDIT: think its 509T 12v could someone clarify?
