Thanks Paul, yes the S/wheel will be a 14inch Moto - Lita Wood Rim without Rivets - BHM will fit one for you as the cars come from the factory with the standard 'Mondeo' one fitted.

If you collect your car from the Dealer, he will have, or should have carried out a thorough 'PDI' and made sure everything is as it should be! This is not always the case with cars that are collected directly from the factory.

I haven't found out yet how they have managed to cut the 'Build Time' so drastically.

Thanks Kin, you would certainly 'feel at home' in a +8/Roadster after the Atom.

I haven't seen my car yet, so I'm still unable to comment yet on the standard of workmanship and whether there has been any compromise as a result of the 'shorter' build time....

Latest picture received of the 'replacement' Steering Wheel Shroud in-situ, not a bad match. Was a bit worried as the 'Shroud' had to to be ordered prior to the car being built.

I'd get a photo sent of the engine bay Robert, they may have missed out a major 'part' thus resulting in the shorter build time. doh

Aeroman thumbs

P.S. the steering shroud looks a really good match. grin2

Wow!! wasn't sure what you meant by "walnut steering shroud" before, didn't even realise they're available, now I've seen the pic, its really good match and its beautiful thumbs

Now , the problem I see is that those black plastic indicator stalks look real out of place there, I'd commission someone to make me a set of aluminium stalks to replace them (might as well go all the way), just my opinion confused2

Couldn't agree more Kin, the 'Shroud' really 'high lights' them and not for the best reasons!

As for replacing them, I will have to see how much 'Uncle Melvyn' leaves me from my budget.

Thanks Gents for the Kind Comments. 'Uncle Melvyn' advises me that a certain prospective 'Mog' Owner has ordered a +4 in the same colour combination as 'Arian' after seeing her in the workshop!

Out of the 100,000 paint permutations he choses my two! Oh Well; what is it they say about "copying and flattery".
