Just finished polishing and fitting together my new steering wheel.
Rather think it will look nice on the car.
My old momo wheel which ive had for the last 10years i have made into a clock for the garage.

Maplin should do some sort of mini kit with the clock 'center' usually just needs a battery and you're away :)
