i am having a custom RSI grab handle made from Aircraft grade aluminium to replace the plastic one i have, also matching steering wheel inserts.
i have also found a set of Audi TT Mk2 defroster vents for the top of the dash which will look good,
awaiting the arrival of my front bumper so i can do the filling of the indicator appatures and general cleaning up.
