Make sure they don't put a big ugly rear number plate on - Harwoods do that (well, they did on mine until I moaned at them). ;)

Thanks for the kind replys, I will be transfering my own plate on to it soon.
With regards to the comments about loosing the chrome and gloss black on the sill and splitter, that was my plan originally but after seeing the car in the flesh i like the chrome, adds a touch of class/luxury in my eyes and blended with the wheel highlights but lets see once i have lived with it a bit.

Has anyone advice on where i would be able to get a Flat bottomed wheel from? Harwoods say they are not available.

Flat bottom wheels are a PITA, especially if you intend some track or opposite lock action, first thing I did was have the factory change it over to a conventional 'wheel' :-)

Fine on the Black vs Chrome...of course 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'....Italian Racing Red looks good whatever you throw at it.

If you Google that part code it returns round steering wheel and not flat bottom. Either people selling them are displaying the wrong picture or the part code is wrong on system. Proceed with caution if purchasing that part code.
